Do you mean running a mail server in your own home? I assume that would be why you'd want the VPN.
I'm weighing up the relative merits of doing it at home versus on a server elsewhere (or perhaps a small virtual machine). Either way, it is going to leave a trail of IP addresses. You can obfuscate a bit, but anyone doing something seriously bad can be found. My interest in doing it myself is mostly just the technical challenge, but I can see there is some comfort in knowing where your emails are.
Would be interesting to hear from anyone with experience.
