We run in house email on Zimbra
How is spam filtering handled?
In our case, we use Zimbra's built in components. Not the best, but not bad. It's free, so that's a big factor for us. Was like a 15 minute one time setup and now it just works (so far.)
If we wanted, our outbound mail handler (MailGun) will do inbound spam filtering for us for cheap. But we've not gone down that path (yet.)
Not the best is likely not good enough for a 120 user organization consisting of zero technical users.

Maybe if you factor in labor, cost of Windows and MS management, time etx, perhaps cloud is better?
Those have nothing to do with the apple to apples cost of the Mail Server options themselves.
Those have lots to do with the final total. I know how to do math so that has nothing to do with my question on costing out options.

Only things that don't are hobby systems like GoDaddy, and even that probably does.
That is Office 365 Exchange Online now.

Well, not the best has been better than some of the big players

@JaredBusch When you/they make a decision, I'd like to know what the decision was and what ultimate factors led to the decision.

O365 - we all have better things to do than manage a stupid mail server, come on.

I totally agree on a personal level. but that is not how business works.

It will be weeks down the line.
But I will post something .

Doesn't really work that way. It's still management, one of the reasons we like to remove O365 is to reduce management time. O365 takes us almost as much time as Zimbra, but costs a lot more. If O365 saved us management time, it would be one thing. But I'm not sure that it does. Zimbra is so much less effort for email tasks, but more for platform tasks. With a large number of users, Zimbra gets easier. We definitely have customers where for saving IT time, we want to move from O365 specifically for the reason that you stated.

Hey yeah, hook me up. That'll save some time versus standing one up to see it.

Only gotten to play with it a tiny bit, but so far I am liking it. Way more modern than Zimbra, Outlook, or Gmail.

Modern in what way versus the others? Quantum computing? Nicer colors / better layout?

Looks the same, but it uses all quantum mechanics underneath and communicates over EoS (Ethernet over Subspace)
