From my understanding in the Politico article[1], it appears the server was at the Clinton residence: "And since the Secret Service was guarding Clinton’s home, an email server there would have been well protected from theft or a physical hacking."

That's a slap up based on the same thin information as all the rest of the reporting. more: The press comments about the location of the server sure do sound a lot more like misunderstanding than they do careful research.

  You might be right. The other thing that doesn't sound right is how the server runs MX Logic, which is an email service/server run by McAfee. So there is a total misunderstanding by the press of how domains/dns/servers/email services work.

    This guy is studying the issue: http://thedailybanter.com/2015/03/aps-bombshell-hillary-clinton-email-story-fails-prove-existence-homebrew-server/ http://thedailybanter.com/2015/03/aps-bombshell-hillary-clin... The initial AP article wasn't specific about the server location, but various media outlets omitted that sentence. Later updates to the AP article do state that a business record related to the server has been traced to her home, but the various republished editions of the AP story swamp search, so it is difficult to find any actual analysis of the technical details. A discussion here on HN is the best I've found: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9148730 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9148730 The records for the mail server do point to an ip address from a provider in the area of her home. But there is no further evidence.
