Also, Linode offers automatic backups for an additional $5/mo. > - DKIM, PTR, SPF, rDNS all require money and static IP (more money) Basically any VPS provider will assign you a static IP address as part of the standard package. Linode gives you easy to configure PTR records; most other providers probably do the same. And I've never set up DKIM, SPF, etc. and yet I've never had problems with people receiving mail from my domain. Results may vary, of course, but I don't think it's a big deal as long as you aren't hosting your MTA on a PC in your basement with a dynamic address from your ISP or something.
