Co-locating mail

[Anwar Qureshi]

I have Exchange 5.5 with 200 mailboxes. Director of the company is asking me if it is worth to co-locate emails with ISP. I checked with one of the ISP and looks like its very cheap if the ISP will host our company's email. I think the advantage will be that there will be less headaches for me to maintain emails within the company. I am not sure what will be the disadvantage of ISP hosting our company's mailboxes. That way I don't have to worry about antiviruse software on Exchange server, can use existing server for some other purpose and less administrative cost.   Any thoughts   Anwar List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
