I opted for the VPS route mainly because I was still based in South Africa
at the time, and even now the incumbent telco over there has less than
stellar rates and reliability. The VPS idea worked so well that I sort of
kept at it.

Wow, those are good figures! I don't come even close, but then again I
spend about 1 hour per year twiddling with spamassassin. With that amount
of effort you cannot expect much! :-) Still, I get a 90% + rejection,
which I think is great under the circumstances (great result versus effort
ratio, you gotta love FLOSS!).
