If you can justify the costs of doing so, it is a good solution. For people like me who do this both as a hobby and for a non-profit organization, the trick is finding a place to host that server that won't cost an arm and a leg.
Other than my time of installing it and configuring it, I have no costs. I run it on my iMac that sits at home. My DSL provider has no problems with servers. Volume is low enough that my 384Kbps upstream is adequate. Until a few months ago, that iMac was also my main desktop machine. While it's now a dedicated server, there's nothing about Mailman and whatever MTA you use that requires them to be on a dedicated server - they'll be quite happy to chug along in the background. ---------------- End original message. ---------------------
The problem is that not everyone has an ISP that is willing to allow a user to run an SMTP server or web server on a home machine.
The server my friend owns that hosts my stuff is on a Cox business account with a static IP. Cox is one of many ISPs that won't allow their subscribers to run such a server on a standard home broadband connection, they will only allow such traffic on a business account.
As with everything, your mileage will vary.

No-ip.com will relay mail on an alt port. I;ve been running a MS SBS from my home on Cox home cable for about 2 years. Full exchange and remote access using no-ip.com to fix the DHCP issue and alt port SMTP. Cant beat the price/speed of a home account ;-) I think I pay about 20 a year for no-ip I cant remember.
