I limited hosting mail to just me and my family a while back, hosting
for customers / randomers is too much hassle.

I do enjoy running an email server for my family and any friends though.

I find that once it's set up properly it just sits there doing it's
thing, very little intervention needed.

(Postfix, Dovecot, Roundcube, greylisting, DKIM, SPF)
