I do the same thing, with pretty much the same experience. One initial
blacklist hiccup that was easily resolved.

I ran my mail server at home for a while, but after a few storm-related
outages I switched to a cheap VPS doing store-and-foward.

You can also shop around to get some storage (20-50GB) that you can use
for remote backups of critical files (encrypted, of course).

I find Low End Box <https://lowendbox.com/> is a good resource for
finding VPS providers. You will have to pay attention if you want IPv6
support, as it's far from universal.
