Options: Zimbra [0] and GoDaddy VPS [1]?
My current setup is very simple. We have a GoDaddy Gen 4 server (don't knock it, rock solid, no issues at all) were we host email for multiple domains as we please. It's super simple. No email hosting nightmares. Just point the MX record to that server and host the site anywhere else or on the same server. One fixed annual cost (~$600/yr) and you can do whatever you want. This is hard to beat.
I've been thinking of migrating to a Zimbra setup to self-host email on something like a Linode server. I absolutely detest per-mailbox/per-user plans. Frankly, it has been very hard to beat our current GoDaddy setup.
If you are dealing with multiple domains, each with multiple mailboxes, costs can add-up very quickly. It then becomes a cash bleed. Every service (not just email) wants $5 to $20 per month from you. It is very easy to end-up spending thousands of dollars per month through these "bleed" costs.
Anyhow, other than time to make the transition, what has stopped me from taking this path is that Zimbra seems "fat" in the sense that it requires a "fat" server to run.
