This was my experience 12 years ago: Has it changed? The upkeep is when someone’s email triggers your domain to get added to a spam list and your customers call you because they can no longer receive any emails from [email protected]. Then you finally reach the right department at populardomain.com and open a ticket to get unblocked. Then repeat procedure each month with a new domain. Then keep up with that latest security protocols and spam lists to try to prevent that from happening. Oh an make sure someone doesn’t hack your server.

We put in our own email server concurrent with a new domain. So it will save a significant amount of money for us.

There's nothing better unless you need to live in the Microsoft ecosystem then you have office 365. We love Google apps for business and I use it for personal email too. They never let me down.

Can only see headers. So switching to outlook but that is painful. I rolled back the windows update that happened last night but still dead WLM… sob… Have resisted outlook for years.
