At the very, very low end: http://www.lowendbox.com/ says that
there is currently a $6.50/month VPS deal available at
simplerack.net including:

128MB memory/256MB swap
30GB storage
700GB/month data transfer
Xen/SolusVM

Which except for the RAM is very, very good for being a personal
or family mail processor. Might be doable for that. Unlikely to
be good for Eric's use, but this thread has mutated three times
anyway...

You can't defend freedom by getting rid of it.
