Place-Of-Orking is not primarily a hosting company. We deal with dialup as
our main business, plus DSL and hosting. And of the ~16k IP addresses
under our control, there are a thousand domains, and only a handful of
mail servers, including mine (via sDSL).

As is a suggestion that 10:1 is a norm.   (;-)

Most people, when acquainted with even SOME of the issues of running their
own mail server, decide to let the ISP deal with it, even if it will
result in a significant monthly savings for only a little extra work on
their part.
