Yup!  I'm retired, so time isn't the issue.  However, as there are only 
three people with email addresses at this domain there's no real reason 
for me to do it except personal satisfaction and if I've that much time 
on my hands, it's better spent finishing the final edit of my first 
novel[1] so that I can self-publish it and (maybe) get some extra 
income.  And, for that matter, I've gotten sendmail to use my hosting 
company's smtp server as a smarthost because my ISP blocks outgoing Port 
25, so even if I did set up my own server, my email would go from it to 
my hosting company and then get delivered.  Personally, I can't see much 
point to it.

[1]I have three novels from NaNoWriMo that I've finished and three 
sitting at somewhere over 50,000 words each that still need the first 
draft brought to a proper conclusion.  I'm going to get all of them out 
there, RSN...
