Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but after watching the level of spam ever
increasing over the last 5 years, and more and more people moving to
big (monopolistic?) service providers like google and hotmail. I've
wondered if these big corporate service providers don't tolerate the
spam level in order to prevent anyone who doesn't have a building full
of IT staff from running their own mail servers.

As recently as last month I was thinking along the same lines, but now that I have installed a greylisting spam filter (mail/spamd from ports) spam is down to extremely manageable levels on my home mail server.

With a little time spent configuring your world, there is still room for do-it-yourself admins with small networks.
