Building a decent public SMTP server with good spam filtering *that does
not originate spam itself* and *does not silently lose mail* is a hugely
different story, and requires more than simply "some system
administration knowledge".  It requires a solid understanding of SMTP as
well as the software involved, some knowledge of IP networks and DNS,
and constant vigilance on the anti-spam sites to ensure you're not
originating spam.  Someone unable or unwilling to do these things should
not expose their SMTP server to the public.
