Running one's own e-mail server is always a popular topic.

Any amount of poking into the idea quickly reveals an unexpected amount 
of complexity and gotchas, which can be daunting - perhaps not so much 
e-mail / the server itself, but the necessary ecosystem that surrounds 
it in today's world. Let alone if you expand the topic to 
'communications' (instant messaging, 'skype', irc, and the like). I 
expect many skitter away from the idea rather quickly.

Yet many do it, presumably happily and successfully.

[Mind you, I thought the same thing about voip / voip.ms, but 
eventually, especially after posts from John, Oksana, and Raul, haven't 
looked back since.]

Any favourite 'howto' links out there?
(Such seem to be a moving target, it can be hard to discern what's 
'current'.)
