You can absolutely run a mail server at home. This is not rocket science
and in fact, it
is dumb easy to do. Try to follow these steps:
1. Get a domain name and look for registrars that can host it for you. For
example,
check this kind of services at www.no-ip.com.
2. Configure your ADSL router to re-direct SMTP and POP3 traffic to that
server of yours
running sendmail, spamd, mimedefang, clamd, spam-assassin, etc. You can
even incorporate
services like IMAP3 for you to be able to log-in into your mail server
anywhere.
Please stop spreading misinformation. Unless you have reverse DNS setup,
ANY email server that adhering to standards should (and probably will)
block your incoming email.
If you want to run your own, that's great, but don't expect to use it
reliably without either setting up the reverse DNS or forwarding through
your ISPs email server(s). If you don't do that, you won't know be able to
have any assurance that your email will be received properly.
