Most of the local ISPs that I have used filter inbound and outbound port 25 on their "residential" services, which makes running a mail server locally problematic without the use of a smart host.
Most of the "business" packages do not have this restriction. Having said that, a VPS is a whole lot cheaper, I have a couple of http://buyvm.net/ VMs which have been excellent value. For those that worry about having their data reside in the US, I would recommend https://mykolab.com/, which is a hosted kolab solution based out of Switzerland (Canada provides no protection beyond what you would get in the US anyway). Kolab and Citadel are my two favourite messaging/collaboration suites.
