So much for CAPTCHA then – bots can complete them quicker than humans
What about proof of work based CAPTCHA like https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha ? Since CAPTCHAs can be solved by bots, at least make it more costly for them.

Google's reCAPTCHA likely illegal in Europe?
That should only be an issue if the server is under attack.
According to the docs (https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha/blob/master/docs/CONFIG...), you can set three difficulty levels:
MCAPTCHA_CAPTCHA_AVG_TRAFFIC_DIFFICULTY
MCAPTCHA_CAPTCHA_PEAK_TRAFFIC_DIFFICULTY
MCAPTCHA_CAPTCHA_BROKE_MY_SITE_TRAFFIC_DIFFICULTY

Sandstorm, Tempest, and the Future
I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic. Much like they are automatic on various OSes (mobile OSes in particular but also MacOS/Windows). This is not impossible if a single OS like Debian-testing is targeted.
Mailinabox [1] almost does it. They target Ubuntu stable, and upgrades are mostly silent. But they needed user intervention when Ubuntu had to be upgraded from 18.10 to 22.04, which was quite challenging.
If sandstorm can get there, then putting it into a RPi box is simple. What's difficult is helping the general public understand the importance of protecting their data, so such a product has a reasonable market.

[advice needed] - Selfhosted Mail Server
If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them.
