    Jeffrey Not to derail the thread, but I'm curious: Why not roll your own postfix+dovecot+spamassassin primary and backup MX scheme as suggested by a few others in this thread? Is it cost prohibitive? Or is it simply a matter of offloading the headache of running your own mail server to an outside provider?

    There are solutions to ease the pain. Like installing a custom panel that takes care of the setup, like i-mscp. Or iredmail, if you need a mail panel only.

    Not everyone is edgy enough to have their own mail server.

  • I understand well that there are control panel based setups that are easy, and I know not everyone may feel up to running it themselves. I've done the research on those panels before deciding to roll my own.

    I've run a primary and backup mailserver for about 8-9 years for about two dozen users with a handful of domains. I've not to have any issues, and very little false-positive SPAM classifications with simple postfix header/body checks couple with spamassassin.

    I was going to encourage the OP to run his/her own mail systems given the relatively low complexity for a relatively small amount of users/domains. It opens up a world of flexibility.

    Why would anyone who runs their own mailserver have to be 'edgy' (meaning irritable, on edge)?

  • We have gone with Google. Thank you everyone for the recommendations. We wanted an offload solution to make everything easier and for 100% Uptime when it comes to Email
