A Linux server (e.g. stock Debian) on a well-reputed VPS is pretty secure by default, in my experience. Use software packages from the Linux distribution whenever possible (certainly for email software) and configure unattended security updates. Note that you generally can’t host email from a residential IP, so you’ll probably want to use a VPS. Making services on your home network publicly accessible (i.e. not just via VPN) obviously comes with more risks; personally I wouldn’t do that.
