The costs vary, of course. If you're a very small outfit (with only a few hundred email addresses), outsourcing is probably more cost-effective. Larger outfits may benefit from doing things in-house. I once crunched the numbers, and our Barracuda is saving my boss several hundred a month over Postini (and that included a WISPA-specific discount), but we're juggling a few thousand email addresses. Sometimes it's the other way around, of course. Really, the only way to be sure of what's going on for you is to talk to a couple vendors and see what's best for your company.
