I have been considering it over and over. For a time i DID host my own emails. Out of my house, with a business line and static IP. Google Apps was free at the time and I registered my domain and over time that has become the easiest (its still free for me because i grandfathered in back in like...2014.) With that said, more and more I want my own privacy and control. And VPS services are cheap. Im leaning toward moving to Mail in a Box or something similar to what OP talked about in his blog. Its really just me and my wife so not much volume. Could probably host it on Linode no problem.
