I've been using a VPS as my primary mail server for > 2 years and have only been black listed once. Even that was a 12 hour automated listing because I sent one message to an address I had not used in 7 years, which had since been converted into a spam trap. I've also known others that use VPSs for this exact thing with considerable success.
I do the same thing, with pretty much the same experience. One initial blacklist hiccup that was easily resolved. I ran my mail server at home for a while, but after a few storm-related outages I switched to a cheap VPS doing store-and-foward. You can also shop around to get some storage (20-50GB) that you can use for remote backups of critical files (encrypted, of course). I find Low End Box <https://lowendbox.com/> is a good resource for finding VPS providers. You will have to pay attention if you want IPv6 support, as it's far from universal. -- Robert Story <http://www.isi.edu/~rstory> USC Information Sciences Institute <http://www.isi.edu/>
