[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1624302, member: 11094"] IMHO I've never been a fan of the email services of OS X server. That said I also don't know enough about them to laud or tout them. I just feel that with a core system such as email and web that having those systems hosted makes more sense. Unless you yourself have access to data center and pay for your own rack space then maybe.But at that point you probably know that a Mac Mini is not something you are going to rely on for mail and web anyway. As for VPN, the VPN service works well but has never been the pillar of security. I would offload this to a network security appliance. That said, outside of the SMTP relay, everything should work just fine. I have not used OS X server in that fashion and but might suggest using a SaaS mail sanitization provider. This would limit your surface area in relation to SMTP. [/QUOTE]
