Knowing what Google does to Gmail, what Google does to all the data it hosts and who it gives access to without our knowledge, I’m keeping our own email server. Rather face the hackers head on.

I have it on several computers so that if the internet goes down or Google goes down I still have a local copy of all my junk on at least two places I can access. I hope that protects me from ransomware. Have not left Word and Excel for Google yet other than storing the files on the drive. But I agree, I love what Drive does for me.

Love it and know I don't have to worry about my data being secure and backed up. Also don't have to administer a server and spam filters. It just something I don't want to think about and Google gives me that ability. If you're running a wisp, then run your wisp instead of doing email and stuff. Google kicks ass!

I don’t use it though. I had sharepoint running for a while on my own Exchange server a few years ago. It ran fine, but I had to run firewalls specific to it to make sure I wasn’t hacked. I don’t know if I’m any better hacking wise with the MS hosted solution, but probably. At least I don’t have to worry about all that crap anymore. I just wonder if they will ever get password hacked etc. From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Rory Conaway Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 4:30 PM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Exchange Server replacement It was a little more work to set up but hosted Exchange has limitations. We are also planning on adding Sharepoint and integrating some other functions on the server when we upgrade the hardware.

So no client email for ISP etc? I got sick of managing Exchange, so I just use cloud 365. Works fine for small or large nubmers, doubt it will bail anytime soon. Don’t need to worry about hardware/software/domain AD etc. etc. It’s not too hard to manage online. When I was hosting email I used Zimbra, but now days I don’t bother with client email.
