Setting up an Exchange server for 15 users seems like asking to be beaten with a stick for fun.

One project I'm working on is getting a huge # of downloads and we're all of a sudden sending out six digits emails every month.. Sorry, but I really don't want to be a sendmail expert or know the ins and outs of keeping off spam blacklists (even though our subscribers downloaded an app, and clicked through TWO things accepting the terms of service, we still get people that are mad when we send them an email for a service they requested). So instead just get an SMTP service that I can use that generates reports, maintains the servers, etc. Done. |
15 users is probably right on the low end of when you start to look at Exchange, in my experience, because that’s when you have enough scheduling complexity to start to need the calendaring aspect of Exchange.
And yeah, you probably don’t want to be doing Exchange in house for that low a user count, if its not your company’s core competency. That’s what you get people like me (or rather, my employer) to do
