The qualifications for running your own mailserver is not negligible, but it's also well documented in such a way that most competent geeks with a few bucks for a domain-name and VPS could get the fundamentals up and running in a weekend.
A discussion particularly apropos of reading @whitequark's recent thread¹ that crossed my feed, detailing adventures in busting the "setting up a mailserver is hard" myth.
