I believe OS X uses many of the same components under the hood. I have toyed with OS X Server.app (mostly just to get the necessary certificates to get IMAP push notifications working with iOS/Dovecot[1]) and it seems like a really solid choice.

Not sure how you go about colocating a Mac Mini in a datacenter though.

You use it with your home ISP on a static-IP address.

Any outgoing mail will almost certainly be spam-blocked if you send from a residential IP. Also, most ISPs block port 25.

Nope.

When you ask your ISP for a static-IP address, your service goes from Residential to a more expensive Business account, and they open up outgoing mail ports. (At least for Verizon FIOS that I'm on, pretty sure Comcast is same as well.)

Cloud IP addresses are probably more problematic for spam blocklists.
