Jonathan, it appears most want to stick with an email service as has served us for so many years. I’ve seen your setup, you have plenty of capacity & speed, I guess the only drawback for you or Bill to handle the server yourselves would be the horror of something happening to either of you, or your equipment. Hosting from a large firm would keep the group going independent of just one person & the drawbacks of failed equipment. Years back I used a server farm in Cincinnati, they had been up 24-7-365 for years without any downtime. That will be difficult for an individual.
Is Lee willing to turn the database over for the group to port to whatever is chosen next?
