It's really fun to run a mail server!
With a correctly configured postfix, exim or sendmail it's very fun.
Of course, I learned in 1995 in dot com startups where we were selling
dialup maintaining multiple mail servers.
The people I worked with were all really creative and easy going.
Of course I prefer for security sake to use gmail relay now at home.
Another alternative is Google Aps for domains mail (free).
