I suggest buying and reading "Postfix" by Richard Blum, SAMS
Publications, and installing Postfix from the CDs and Courier IMAP
package (includes POP3 server) from the Web
(http://www.courier-mta.org/).  Join the Postfix email list
(www.postfix.org), listen, then post questions.  Running an e-mail
system in non-trivial.  I would rate it as more complex than a small
Web site.  If installing from source tarballs is too technical for
you, you aren't ready for running an e-mail system.

I have one, it works though there are some ugly areas, and I am no
longer at the mercy of my ISP's (Austin, TX Road Runner) servers,
e-mail, DNS, Web, etc.  Looking at the domain name in your address,
you might like to do that too.
