You won't have a problem getting a server running, but any mail server you set up will have it's fuctionality limited as ISP's generally be reject any email that is sent from a DHCP/residential IP block. This is to limit the effects of mail bombs from PCs infected with trojans/worms that have their own SMTP engine.
You'll be fine with DNS/WEB/FTP etc servers. But for the mail you will have to relay through either the Virgin SMTP server or a third party outgoing email server.
