Why go for a Dedicated Mail Server?
Corporate houses with more than 250 email ids must start migration towards dedicated mail server environments. Most organisations do not think in such line and end up in using primitive mailing solutions in shared environment. While it might meet the basic mailing requirements, an organisation cannot fully tap the advantage of a mailing solution in a shared environment. For example, features such as multi group mailing, mailing lists, scope for schedulers, mail tracking, ssl - tls based mailing are not available in shared hosting environment. These features can save a lot of time and cost besides meeting crucial functions such as seamless communication and compliance. The following are the major advantages in having a dedicated mail server;
1. Full resource is allotted to you, hence no worry about resource spikes.
2. Complete control over mail server thus enabling fine tuning of vital settings such as Spam Assassin, Anti-virus etc.
3. Advanced group mailing, scheduling.
4. Mail tracking - tracking all incoming and outgoing mails.
5. No worry about mail server IP getting blacklisted / Blocked.
Now that convinced with dedicated mail servers, most organisations jump into maintaining own mail servers in their premises. This is catastrophic and disadvantageous. The reason being,
1. A dedicated system admin is required to maintain mail servers.
2. High availability of premium bandwidth from multiple operators is required.
3. Desktop level mail server solutions are costly.
4. Usually the ISPs provide Ip address which might get blacklisted if subnet is got in spamming / malwares thus affecting your mailing also.
5. 24X7 uptime of mail server with proper environmental control such as air conditioning, fire supression system etc are required.
For this, you can run your mailing solution hosted in a data center, with premium bandwidth from multiple operators and fully managed by professional system admins.
