I used to do this 15-20 years ago, ran my own smtp server too, dropped thing via spamassasin, custom email aliases for each sign up, etc etc. The life got too short. Pine was ok for simple emails, but HTML mails and attachments meant moving to a graphical system. Wanting access to mail on the go meant squirrelmail which was inferior to most web mail. Then along came smart phones and I was having to run imap on my server too. I suspect nowadays any emails I sent from my anti server would be scored highly for spam flagging too. In the end I just used gmail. I can count on one hand the number of spams I get each year.
