Because I assumed (apparently mistakenly) that you're not a total novice WRT
SMTP mail and spam. This exchange has eliminated all doubt.

As long as your VPS/cloud provider doesn't drop packets, experience power
outages regularly, etc, there is no issue running an MX in/on a cloud/VPS.
Sending from a cloud and many a VPS network is where you will likely run into
problems, which as been covered.

Unfortunately that's easier said than done. Finding fresh credit card
details is only one google search away if you know what to search for.
