Ask HN: As a lazy but concerned user, how do you run your own email server?

What the easiest to have secure email server (open source & auto-updated, not necessarily free) running on a VPS. I've been looking into:

* https://yunohost.org/ (has email server, open source and free, GNU AGPL v.3)

* sandstorm.io which hinted at email server, but seems to be stalling

* http://cloudron.com/ which seems interesting but couldn't find much reviews

Yunohost covers the bill, but I'm surprised it has no tracktion on HN, no comments/reviews.

Are there alternatives I'm missing? What are your recommendations?

Background: Given how important email has become as authorization and how sometimes account access is hacked or revoked + how the email data usually stays with the provider I'd like to run my own server.
