Just curious, what's the "half-decent VPS" you're thinking of for ~$3/month?
I'm not spindritf, but I am thinking of BuyVM: http://buyvm.net/
They do not have fantastic uptime.

#32there is still one touch problem, how can you make sure your outbound mails won't be rejected by other servers?

#33Finally! As someone who has been running his own email server for many years, I've been waiting for this to happen, so that I can tell my friends to do the same thing.
Best of luck to this project. It is very, very needed.

Whatever you can find at the time on http://lowendbox.com/ http://lowendstock.com/ http://www.lowendtalk.com/ or lowendwhatever from a provider that wasn't started yesterday and has decent reviews. A couple of weeks ago there was a dedicated server offer from online.net floating around for €1.99/mo http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/33122/1-99-%C2%A0dedicated-...
Definitely a +1 for LowEndSpirit, I've got two boxes with them, one for a blog and another working as a VPN to the US.
They only provide IPv6 though, but it's trivial to set-up forwarding using Cloudflare's v6 to v4 proxy service.

#35I am trying to set up an email server for an Asian non-profit (about 1000 accounts) on a hertzner server.
They do not need all the bells and whistles however?
Is this good enough for that many number of users?

I have deployed Sovereign ( https://github.com/al3x/sovereign ) on a VPS at OVH. It costs me about 2.5 EUR a month and I also use it for purposes other than email.
As a current user of Mailinabox I would recommend Sovereign instead of Mailinabox for the HN crowd. Mailinabox is extremely frustrating to customize - in fact Josh strictly advises against it.

#37How does it compare to iRedMail? http://www.iredmail.org Does it support multiple domains?
iRedMail has been around much longer. Mailinabox has a simple admin web-interface to add users whereas iRedMail charges $400 for a web-interface. iRedMail also doesn't include z-push (i.e. push mail). Edit: Mailinabox does support multiple domains, by default it will only use itself as DNS which currently does not support backup DNS.

Why not find a host in Singapore or Hong Kong, rather than Hetzner that is 300-400ms away? (Nothing wrong with Hetzner, just saying)

#39what you need: A completely fresh Ubuntu 14.04 machine
Bummer. I already have a server running and don't plan on paying for an extra instance just for mail. Has anyone tried this with VirtualBox or some other virtualization? Should work if the correct ports are forwarded, no?

#40Does it at least use StartTLS by default?
