[ale] Email system

[Lightner, Jeff]

Don’t use GoDaddy unless you like folks that play games with your stuff when you’re ready to quit using them.

Every time we’ve had a need to transfer a domain away from GoDaddy they prevented the transfer attempt AND then locked the domain “for our protection” for 60 days to prevent us from re-attempting the transfer.

My opinion: this is doomed.
Put everything on Godaddy and let them deal with it, unless email is a hobby for you.
Then access it from everywhere/anywhere.   Evolution on Linux, IMAP on smart phones and tablets.
I used to run a postfix server until I realized it was driving me crazy.

I'm in the need to figure out a new method of email, that does no include Exchange.

Currently I use CentOS to fetch all our our mail from our provider and store locally.  Users then use IMAPS and SMTP to receive and send.

We get hammered with Spam that has nasty attachments.   One user asked me what we could do about this.  My thought is that I'm going to have to install a real commercial SPAM firewall.  I also looked at Google business email.  My options currently are to look at purchasing a Baracuda appliance to cut down on the crap or use Google email services.

With the Baracuda I'll stop fetching mail from the provider and smiply chane our DNS MX records to send mail directly.  I'm not sure how it will feed email to my mail system or if it is the IMAP/SMTP server.  Anyone use one of these devices?
