Because I assumed (apparently mistakenly) that you're not a total novice WRT SMTP mail and spam. This exchange has eliminated all doubt. As long as your VPS/cloud provider doesn't drop packets, experience power outages regularly, etc, there is no issue running an MX in/on a cloud/VPS. Sending from a cloud and many a VPS network is where you will likely run into problems, which as been covered. -- Stan
