One question that was posed to me today is whether implementing MS Exchange in a small business environment poses more of a threat to a network than using a more traditional POP3/hosted approach.

My answer was that, quite the contrary, in our experience, implementing MS Exchange provides a more centralised approach to email than the POP3 method and so is far easier to police, no matter how big the site.

Our experience goes as far as the 200 user mark but the majority of our customers would fit into the 5 - 25 user bracket. Having MS Exchange installed at their site has always lead to an increase in productivity and a decrease in overall spam and malware outbreaks, given the correct anti-X tools.
