The most difficult part of mail servers imo is securing them. There are so many out there that can be hacked with public exploits and because of this I don't think they should be run on the same hardware as your server. Also, once set up they are rarely if ever updated. This is a large reason as to why they're vulnerable. I'd suggest getting your emails through gmail. They allow you to create free email addresses for domains you own so you can have name@yourdomain.com and google handles hosting, updating, everything. This comes free with your domain name.
Actually, this is my number #1 fear, that the server could get hacked. I wouldn't even realize it was hacked, if it was... ;P
Btw, Don't you need a grandfathered google account for a free email service?
