The key word there is affecting interstate commerce. Moreover, something need not be commercial in and of itself to affect commerce. You'd be surprised how far the courts and Congress have stretched the English language to serve their purposes. Not only is it likely that you are using mail servers in an interstate manner, but courts can look at the aggregate impact of intrastate activity akin to yours and decide that it could impact interstate activity collectively. For instance, they could say that thousands of users like you, acting solely within their own state have an aggregate affect on interstate commerce.
That said, so long as you're not harming/annoying anyone (e.g. the use who spoofs his friends with yourmom@thebomb.com), you probably don't have to worry about someone cracking down on your activities.
