100% on this suggestion.
i use to setup qmail to host a few domains, works really well, even mail blast is like really efficient. picked up a lot of fundamental about email, dns, ssl along the way.
just make sure you put a good filtering system before the email reaches your server. like mimecast, proofpoint, etc.
nowadays, you can further secure your access to pop3,imap on email server using service like cloudflare tunnel.
I've been hosting my own email server for 20 years. Not at home though, fuck trying to do it on a dynamic IP. Also fuck 123-reg for mangling my DKIM and making me think I was going mad.
