Ask that question about anything, and ask these same questions about the same:
Do you want to learn?
Do you have a reason to want to have understanding and control over it?
Do you have the time, resources, energy and aptitude?
You've just answered your own question :)
Some people have a deep distain for the idea of self-hosted email, but there's literally no good technical reason you can't do it yourself. I think people react so strongly and insist it shouldn't be self-hosted because they couldn't hack it ;)
(yes, I'm poking them for fun)
Seriously, the only compelling reason they mention isn't compelling: if you're worried about deliverability, pay a reputable service for smarthosting through them. Problem solved, and you still get to 100% control your own filtering, logging, storage and access.
