| Services >> Hosting Your Own Mail Server |
|
It's Simple! Email is easily the most pervasive, ubiquitous tool used by business today. Your organization invariably is already using it, but at what cost? Many companies have their ISP handle email for them, but most providers charge $5-$6 per box per month -- and every time you want to add or delete a mailbox you have to make a call and deal with someone at the ISP. The reality is that hosting your own email is easy, and it can pay for itself in just months, depending on how many email users you have. Nor does it require much skill -- the process of adding or removing staff from email takes just seconds through a friendly user interface. |

Flexibility
Companies run promotions all the time. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to create custom email addresses on demand so you can gauge the effectiveness of those promotions? Or to be able to create non-person-specific email addresses like hr@domain.com, info@domain.com, or webmaster@domain.com and have them automatically forward to the person(s) who should be handling them? Many companies have multiple domain names in use. When you host your own email server, you can choose to have the same email usernames exist in all of the domain names you manage -- so, joe.schmo@domain1.com and joe.schmo@domain2.com point to the exact same mail box. This can make email management so much easier! |

Spam (Unsolicited Commercial Email) Filtering
There are several ways of coping with today's gigantic spam problem -- server-side Bayesian filters like SpamAssassin, client-side mail plugins like SpamSieve, and through outsourced man-in-the-middle services like MessageLabs and Postini. While none of them are a perfect solution (as new spam sources continue to crop up and each option must be trained to deal with them), Escape's customers have reported that they've wiped out the majority (anywhere from 70-99%) of their spam. |
