SMTP is exactly this sort of protocol. Some users buy email hosting;
others use dynamic DNS to host their installs at home, while others
have servers that they use to host their email servers.

I don't see a problem with this approach. It means that users that
want to host their own can, while those who don't want to host their
own don't have to.
