Fastmail costs $40/yr. You can get a half-decent VPS for that with a few bucks to spare on Tarsnap.

Just curious, what's the "half-decent VPS" you're thinking of for ~$3/month?

Whatever you can find at the time on http://lowendbox.com/ http://lowendstock.com/ http://www.lowendtalk.com/ or lowendwhatever from a provider that wasn't started yesterday and has decent reviews.

A couple of weeks ago there was a dedicated server offer from online.net floating around for €1.99/mo http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/33122/1-99-%C2%A0dedicated-...

Definitely a +1 for LowEndSpirit, I've got two boxes with them, one for a blog and another working as a VPN to the US.

They only provide IPv6 though, but it's trivial to set-up forwarding using Cloudflare's v6 to v4 proxy service.

I have deployed Sovereign (https://github.com/al3x/sovereign) on a VPS at OVH. It costs me about 2.5 EUR a month and I also use it for purposes other than email.

As a current user of Mailinabox I would recommend Sovereign instead of Mailinabox for the HN crowd. Mailinabox is extremely frustrating to customize - in fact Josh strictly advises against it.

I'm not spindritf, but I am thinking of BuyVM: http://buyvm.net/

You will probably need to go a little lower on the price than BuyVM to squeeze SpamAssasin in.

They do not have fantastic uptime.

Ramnode has been treating me extremely well considering the price. Their plans are a steal
