I'm going to have to try this out - I tried setting up a mail server once and failed because it was too difficult. Now I'm paying $30/year for service from NameCheap.

I set up my own by hand and it worked great for about a year. Then emails started to not get sent and incoming ones were vanishing too. Then it all went to hell and just completely stopped working.

I gave up and went to fastmail. Setting it all up wasn't a problem. Maintaining it was a nightmare.
