Slightly off-topic, although I got my foot stuck in this door since we maintain FoxPro apps at this client site. So, there's a bit of Fox in there.
I have a client running a small business with my LAMP server as his only non-desktop machine, and Comcast Business for internet provider. He's been using a patchwork of email services over the years (they use AOL and Yahoo! email addresses and a former web design firm provides their domain's POP server.) They are entitled to Comcast Business email as part of their internet package. I wondered if folks here had experience with setting up other clients with Comcast. In particular, my concerns are reliability (losing email during business hours means lost business) and whether they provide decent spam filtering. I've set up other clients with Google and/or Google Apps Premier ($50/year/user) accounts, and their IMAP servers provide nearly 100% uptime and excellent spam filtering. Providing email, spam filtering and network support is really beyond the scope of my services - mostly software development and application support -- so I'm hoping to find a service reliable enough to just configure once and leave running, with the occasional rare tweak. I don't see these folks having any need for an inhouse mail server if reliable services are available elsewhere. I'd welcome any recommendations and/or experiences.
