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.
I can confirm this having run an e-mail server for 2 years with limited functionality before moving to a dedicated server. Even incoming mail can be limited when on an ISP IP block as some servers won't send to blacklisted IP's either.
