I would never self-host email based on what I saw during the portion of my career as a web hosting Linux sysadmin. At one point I half-seriously offered to pay for Gmail for Business for all our customers out of my paycheck.

Email is THE crucial link in the internet identity chain. It NEEDS to both work always AND be secure. Two things that frequently weren't the case in web hosting.

I've worked in hosting since 99 and I fully agree with you. I currently work at a Managed WordPress host that only offers web hosting. No email, not even DNS. It's a beautiful thing, believe me!
