	I actually have my email hosted on a Xen VPS server. Since I'm on an
AT&T residential DSL line they port block so I can't host it in-house,
so I went with the Xen VPS solution. I have it listening on 587/tcp so I
can get around AT&T's port blocks and only use them for bandwidth no
other services. I'm looking to move to business-class DSL eventually so
I can bring everything back in-house as I have all the server hardware
already to handle it.
