If your intention is to send email out via your connection, your still going to need to send it out via virgin's SMTP server. If you attempt to send emails directly from the server, most will fail to reach their targets, this is because most ISP's will reject email origination from a domestic/DHCP address block.

thats easy enough, just use a free 3rd party Email server on the web side, or better just have a community Co-located virtual/real server collection and run your community email server through that directly bypassing any ISPs restrictions, YOU dont NEED ISPs remember!, they just make it easyer to connect to the web though their middle man wires but they seem to forget that.
as it stands, mass country wide uptake of small Community run WAN/LANs could/would do more for the UK economy and upping the upload speeds for a fair fixed price, Wimax and generic wireless microwave 1GigE kit can get your community WAN/LAN online to your local Co-Location site today for a one off outlay for the kit, and its prices are dropping by the day so the ISP better pull their socks up rather than peeing about with STM and DPI for commercial profit of YOUR dataflows....
