So what you're telling me is that...

I have to use DNS for email to work?

And if I ever need more storage, I have to plug in a disk?

And If I want to keep my data I actually have to back it up somehow?

And I need to forward a port or if that's not possible directly though my ISP, use another service that offers it?

Sorry, none of that is much of a revelation.

Sarcasm aside, while hosting your own email is not as easy as a lot of people make it out to be, it is definitely not as hard as you are describing either.

If anything the hardest part is not even in your list, it would probably be getting enough people to mark your domain as not spam to get yourself lifted out of automated spam filtering systems.
