   Running an email server at home is an interesting project - in 2000, I ran an   
   email server with inbound and outbound (POP/IMAP) email, mailing lists and a   
   small web site on a Pentium 1 system. It doesn't take a lot of horsepower, a   
   Raspberry Pi could handle it all.   
      
   The problem now? SPAM and mail providers. The same companies agressively   
   blocking inbound email are doing so knowing that anyone running their own mail   
   server is *not* running on their service, exposing their mail to search   
   indexers, selling ads to you, etc. They'd much rather you just give up and use   
   their email service.   
      
   They may not even block based on your mail content and setup, but block your   
   mail because you're on an IP address that looks suspicious. Lots of luck   
   getting off of a blocklist...
