SMTP is exactly this sort of protocol. Some users buy email hosting;
others use dynamic DNS to host their installs at home, while others
have servers that they use to host their email servers.
I don't see a problem with this approach. It means that users that
want to host their own can, while those who don't want to host their
own don't have to.

Right. There is no problem with users being /able/ to have other people
host their stuff, so long as they have a choice, by which I mean that
hosting their own stuff should be /at least/ as easy as self-hosting.
