But do you get to host your stuff on a server you have root on, or at least get direct unfiltered access to your spam filters and maildirs?

I hosted my own mail for 4 years. I absolutely *LOVE* that I do not have root or any control over the spam filters. They do a wonderful job and I'm glad I'm paying someone a modest $50/yr to take that insane amount of burden off of my hands.

As for maildirs, yes I have access to all my mail on GAFYD through an API or even POP/IMAP access. The web interface exposes about 98% of this. A third party offers a webified version of this (for a fee) for audit trails and that kind of "enterprisey" type thing.
