Re: How many of you use hosted email services? that is something i agree with. If i were going to outsource this outside of my office, i would make sure it is at the least on a vps.... and even then i have seen providers overload their vmware / xenos / etc setups with too little physical hardware for the virtual servers on board.
Its all about fine tuning your choosings... just like everything else you run into in your business. Personally I'd do it on a dedicated server outside of the business at a data center.... just for the pure fact that i see a lot of people generally not going through the effort to use and learn outlook. They instead stick with web mail. In this manner they aren't downloading all their messages, so this could actually save your incoming bandwidth by having all the messages delivered locally.
Also if they vacation and check their email, they are using off network bandwidth to do so. |

| As an added bonus, pulling down mail and pushing attachments to the server doesn't use bandwidth these days in places like SoftLayer and SingleHop. So if people use webmail they actually tends to be nearly symmetric bandwidth-wise. Not that 2TB of bandwidth wouldn't be enough for an e-mail server anyway. |
