MailServers - anyone with experience with Windows Live Domains?
After having the VPS housing my mailserver become read-only due to a RAID issue, and have to go through a rebuild (though no fault to the provider), I am thinking of moving things off to Windows Live Domains, where they would host our email instead.
Has anyone tried them?
Any pitfalls/things I should watch for?
I am mainly looking to see if it supports custom filters based on subject, sender, and header info along with spam recognition
P.S. : Weirdly enough, I have noticed that unlike google apps, they only have one MX server per domain

I've been using it for about a month. Works great. Can't speak to your custom filters requirement however.
I used Windows live domains for a year without problems but I had to move to Google apps because of the continuous down-times (starting from September)
Only a few users were affected, I was unlucky. There are a lot of good reviews out there.
Yes, they do have all those filters
Just use Google Apps, it's still free.
You can't add more than 10 users.
You can if you get a domain with more licenses. I have a few.
Don't have one of those domains - only have one with 10 users
Windows live is fine if you don't mind using outlook.com, apart from that I've never seen downtime on my end.
