Plus there's constantly dealing with spam lists.

I run my own, using postfix + dovecot + roundcube, but because I can't 
afford my own subnet - I end up constantly on spam blacklists when 
someone else on my subnet sends spam.

The blacklists don't care that I've had these IP addresses for years, 
never spam, etc. - they just see someone on the subnet spam and they 
blacklist the entire subnet and you have to fill out their form to get 
removed, often to just be added again in a week.

It's a real pain the arse.
