It probably would not suit you, but the following setup works exactly the
way I want it to:

My Postfix MTA sends outgoing mail via my ISP's mail host and I use
getmail to retrieve incoming mail from from my ISP's mail host using POP3,
passing it to my MTA for local delivery via Dovecot. My mail volume is
fairly small, so this system handles it easily while allowing me to
receive and send mail without having any ports externally visible or
accessible.

I do run a web server, but only for internal use. My published websites
are hosted by my ISP. These are maintained locally and published by using
FTP to mirror them onto my ISP's webhosting servers.
