As a sysadmin I completely agree. There are a few things I don't run personally because I want them to "always" work, and I can't drop my professional responsibilities to fix my personal email setup during working hours, but at the same time do not want my personal email down for long periods of time or at all. Reliability and delivery consistency is more valuable then pretending your personal email server actually protects you from dragnet surveillance (in my opinion). The truth is every other smtp server you communicate with could be compromised, and if what you're sending is that sensitive, encrypt it at rest, not just in transmission.
