Wow! I was messing around and found what appears to be an awesome solution for in house, it's called Axigen, and while it does cost quite a bit, it's absolutely the easiest email server setup I have EVER used. Anyone have feedback on how this solution works in the long term?

Unless you have great faith in the connectivity of your office internet connection, as well as the uptime of your mail server, and your ability to effectively administer said server, it seems to me that a hosted solution will be the better choice here. It's not to say you couldn't do it in-house, and in fact that option is probably attractive for several reasons, but when you talk about "cannot afford to lose even a single e-mail" it sounds like it's something best left in the hands of professionals. Hosting companies have redundant servers, multiple backbone connections, 24/7 staff to monitor and fix problems, etc. Moreover, hosted e-mail for a dozen users (even a hundred) isn't terribly expensive. Weigh the cost of the "lost e-mail" scenario with the cost of paying someone to run your e-mail and make sure it's solid. $0.02, Jeff /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
