Re: Email and Web Hosting

["K. Scott Helms" <kscott.helms () gmail com>]

Two decent options, one on prem and the other fully hosted.

Tucows/OpenSRS has a fully hosted email offering that was built for ISPs to
resell.  (They also have domain registration and some other ISP focused
services.)

MagicMail is an email (including webmail) suite that you run on prem.  It
is comparatively inexpensive but also fully supported.  It's built largely
on qmail, but they replaced some of the components to deal with spam and
virus filtering more efficiently.

I have direct experience with both and have used them both for ISPs
specifically.
