I run my own server and it is a lot of fun... I use Exim.

You'll need a fixed IP address, and to have your domain name attached 
to that IP (i.e. upstream DNS). You'll need the cooperation of your 
ISP for this. If your outgoing mail is not recognized as being sent 
from a domain via reverse DNS, it will not be accepted by the 
recipient's server. Let your ISP know what you intend to do and that 
you will not send out "bulk mail". Make sure that your ISP does not 
block SMTP traffic.
