I am a newly hired fairly computer savvy guy without a lot of server experience. My boss has a proprietary mail server that -- frankly -- sucks. Its old, has HUGE amounts of trouble with attachments, and needs to be replaced. My company is small, so my job involves many, many things--some technical, like our servers. I'm tasked with choosing a mail server -- a free one -- and I've narrowed it down to MailExchange since it has a very functional free version (I think). I've been thru the manual and it seems like it would be a good choice for an office with only 8 employees that has to host its own mail server (he insists). Any advice/opinions? The manual talks about an MX DNS address that I have to set up with my domain provider. Isn't that just the DNS that I can get when I lookup our domain with Network Solutions? I'd like to get this done and move on so I can get off on the right foot.

Thanks for your help.
