Was this an actual sendmail server sitting in Clinton's house or was it an offsite server?

  Apparently it was an Exchange server. It doesn't seem to have been resolved exactly physically where the server was hosted: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/09/location-clinton-email-server.html http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/09/location-clinton-... http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/clintons-email-hosted-on-exchange-2010-server-now-not-in-chappaqua/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/clinto...

    Other sources have the reason for running a private server as enabling the use of a Blackberry... Does BB work with active sync? https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/how-clintons-email-scandal-took-root/2016/03/27/ee301168-e162-11e5-846c-10191d1fc4ec_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/how-clintons-e... edit: Oh wow, it does. http://support.blackberry.com/kb/articleDetail?articleNumber=000033940 http://support.blackberry.com/kb/articleDetail?articleNumber... So it may well have been Exchange. How awful...

      It was an exchange server, which is a bit irrelevant to its security, were it maintained correctly. One issue is that it wasn't just an Exchange server, it was a 2003 version of the software and seemingly didn't have very good security protocols surrounding it. On a side now, I despise that Gmail dropped ActiveSync support. Hooking up Outlook is a huge pain in the ass, and it's 100% intentional.
