And, no it is not worth it.
While I agree that an amateur running an e-mail server is quite likely to become a spam bot I'd nevertheless suggest that this possibility, and even the spam the rest of us must deal with, is worth the price of email being decentralised and not dictated by the likes of Google, Microsoft, et al. That said, I still don't recommend running one, amateur or otherwise. Painful memories... Matthew
