I've been shopping for new VM/Co-lo for our hobbyist/arts/small business 
server and RootBSD seems to fit the bill exactly with their pricing and 
options. Does anyone have experience how tight shipo they are running with 
regards to spamming etc? Of course, having Hetzner and OVH supply the 
spamming demand here in Europe, other providers might be spared altogether 
;)

Someone once said that real world is complicated and that makes email 
servers automatically complicated too. In many cases it seems that people 
automatically qualify as smtp and DNS admin once they can install some 
flavor of desktop linux on their personal machines. This is my personal pet 
peeve, people sending mail with headers telling that sender is 
xxx at myhosteddomain.whatever. You can't these days just forward messages with 
sender info kept intact, as modern spam and bounce prevention means that 
some random guy in internet can't sign the mails on our behalf...
