How many concurrent users will be connected to the mail server? How much traffic will the S.M.T.P. server receive (read: how many e-mails arrive on a daily basis)? If you really don't trust your V.P.S. provider, and your mail server is small-ish, you could just skip all the trust issues and buy a cheap Raspberry Pi for £20 or so. Running a mail server over a domestic connection presents some issues, such as dynamic I.P. ranges appearing in the Spamhaus blocklist, or some tyrannicalesque I.S.P.s blocking outbound port 25 (S.M.T.P. submission port), but it is possible to have a smooth, self-administered mail server, providing you can put in the time and effort. I have been doing it myself for a few years with Courier and Postfix (although I wouldn't recommend Courier; Dovecot is far superior).
