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)

That's possibly one of the best things I did last year.

I hosted 6 or 7 domains and ~ 20 mail adddresses for customers and the questions about missing mail and spam ground me down. I learned a lot by managing my own (small) mailserver, but most of all I learned that it's easier to let someone else manage it and concentrate on what I'm good at.

I've been doing this for a few years and I still consider it a pita to
maintain.

I use debian+exim+dovecot+prayer webmail. One of these days I'm going to
give up and pay fastmail or someone similar to maintain it.
