Lelands point about bandwidth and configuration is interesting, I have a
£40M+ business running its email on a 256K dedicated line. When I am
there I have an 8MB adsl line for email access and the one site hosted
service is also on an 8MB adsl line (gives 580Kish push). But as far as
email goes it is how reliable the connection is not the speed, the users
can't tell and dont care how long it takes to transmit their email as
long as it goes and their turns up.
I agree with Ted about using third party hosting, why make your life
such a bind for such a small profit (unless you are going for volume of
accounts)? At worse you can get a reseller agreement from a hoster
and/or co-locate your servers at their facilities. You get to have all
the splurb about security and system resilience at no cost to yourself
and dont have to get up at 3am when there is a power cut.
