You couldn't pay me enough to host my own mail... To me it falls under the same category as assembling my own computer. I can do it but to me it's not worth the trouble. Between DKIM, DMARC, and SPF, security, backup strategy, the fact if you are an open relay for even a day a bot net will find you and get your IP blacklisted for life... or an ISP could just blacklist you because they saw other spam from your same subnet on a shared hosting provider... Granted this article covers a lot of that (it talks about DKIM, DMARC, and SPF) I'm still counting this as one of the things I outsource.
