I'm going to be setting up a small office network for my father's company in the near future. It will only have 3 users ar first, but he expects it to grow pretty quickly (don't they all?)
Anyway, as most people recommend on this board, I'm going to (at least at first), let the domain hosting company he has now handle the email. He already has the domain and he already has his own email account setup that he is using. I think he gets 5 or 7 email addresses, so thats more than enough to get him started.
What I am concerned about though is the security of the email and the manageability of it. My father and the people working for him testify in court as expert witnesses, so it is a concern of ours that we keep a copy of every email that was sent or recieved, and we can't just trust that any of the employees will backup their email on their own.
So, long story short, does anyone know how I would maintain copies of email sent and received if the email is hosted offsite? Is this possible, or do I have to jump into running my own mail server? I believe he is hosted with Network Solutions.
