This is the final installment of our five part series recommending against trying to run your email on your own server. The past postings have covered the advent of cost-effective broadband internet connections, the effects that SPAM has had on email, and the costs of both purchasing the server and paying a consultant to ensure that it continues to function smoothly.

This posting is just a summary of the above concepts. With all of the above information, any benefits that there had previously been to running an internal mail server are far in the past. Running your own hardware is asking for additional costs and problems that none of us need. Instead, you can pay $1 per email account each month, and just forget about the problems. This allows you to just send and receive emails without worrying about how or why it works. It just does.

GreenBayNet has the expertise, 10 years of experience providing fast SPAM-free email, and we do it all for pennies. You just can't go wrong with that combination.
