To: General Linux/UNIX discussion and help <[email protected]> Out of curiosity, is there another solution that offers competitive pricing for hosting the email accounts on a domain basis? I work for a small company and we have at least two domains that we would need less than 5 actual email accounts for total and paying Google $5 -- $10 per email account seems...unattractive when we really only need basic email functionality.
