I agree that the post you linked to was downvoted unfairly. Many of his subsequent posts have been fairly downvoted. I think some of his downvotes are from people who have interacted with him elsewhere. His reply to one of my comments is why I’m using this alternate account. His recent post about pkg.go.dev misrepresented the facts. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24023998 He frequently takes an absolutist stance, often assumes negative intent, and is at best abrasive.

I have not found any self hosted solutions (paid or free / open source) and I've looked a lot in the past. I've seen services like Drip and ConvertKit offer this but both of them are at the high end of hosting costs.

One of the more polished tools I've seen is Freecodecamp's https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/mail-for-good project but it doesn't support auto responders or tagging. I've opened issues on this 2+ years ago at https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/mail-for-good/issues/196 and https://github.c
