[Cialug] Exchange Replacement Opportunity

[Josh More]

I gave up and went with Google.  I hate that I did that, but given how much
time I was losing to trying to maintain a secure mail server there wasn't
much in the way of a practical option.  Were I to do it again, I'd probably
pick something other than Google, but I'd still go with a cloud solution.

Another option is to go with Zimbra or the like and run it through a
cloud-based filter like ProofPoint.  Just make sure that you are in a
position to charge for your email admin time (which I was not).

P.S.  This email would be more fun if you were running
