The sheer volume of spam that arrives every day is probably the single largest obstacle to doing this.

Coupled with the fact that an absurd amount of effort is required to get legitimate mail actually delivered and the security issues associated with running any service on the internet today makes for more than a full-time job in maintaining infrastructure alone, never mind getting paid to do actual work.

I cannot see myself going back to self hosting anything anytime soon.
