For those of us who have the savvy to do so competently, sure.

For others, the key word may be "provider".

Setting up a Linode server on static IP space (to avoid being blacklisted),
setting up greylisting, antivirus/antispam (maybe?), STARTTLS, etc. ...

Maybe the OP is interested in outsourcing all of that - letting someone
else stay current with patching, spammer tactics, etc.
