I've switched over to Google Apps entirely for my personal domain email
hosting. Basically unlimited accounts, 5 gigs each, Google's excellent spam
filters; it was a no brainer for me. Having the Gmail interface from the web
for your own domain is also a big plus.
That said: my email isn't of an overly sensitive nature. I'm under no
delusions that when I delete something from Google, it may not entirely be
deleted. I'm planning on having my attorney look over the ToS in more detail
if I ever use it for anything more than day-to-day uses. I'm also quite sure
this will someday be the subject of lawsuits during the discovery phase.
Where does the liability fall on email retention, etc.
Google Apps has also just recently built in IMAP support, which is quite
handy for many PDAs. More here, in case anyone needs the URL:

I run it all on my home server.

Never been RBLed, actually, in the 7 years I've run my own personal little
mail server.

That's what I do. Courier IMAP, and then mutt over ssh remotely (or
Squirrelmail), and Thunderbird at home.

I have DSL. But my mail to my mike-leone.com domain is not work-related.
