AOL has its own problems. Only AOL customers cannot receive our email invoices and billing alerts. I can’t get them to fix it. People don’t like me telling them to change email addresses. But if the mail man regularly chucks your mail out the window, you need to talk to the postal service or switch to UPS.

Running the mail server is easy. Continually managing the server is hard. Hacked customer accounts, SMTP Relays, It's always 'YOUR' fault that they either cannot receive an email from a friend, or cannot send an email to that friend. And the dreaded walking a customer through setting up their email client. I.E. AOL randomly just dumps mail from me, their servers accept it, but never deliver it. I have no idea why, or any rhyme or reason to it. But it's MY fault when a customer can't send to their friend at AOL. And now I'm spending time looking through logs etc. That time all adds up.

I hope it works out that way. it always seemed really cheap to run a mail server, until you had to do it right. Then it came to be very expensive. I surrendered and went to GMail. To each his own though. I know you likely have a lot smarter people than me around so they will likely handle it with no issue.

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.
