However corporate mail solutions are actually quite rare in terms of
the proportion of users they serve. Most smaller companies buy
email hosting as a service from a provider such as their DNS
registrar or their ISP.
Even if a small company is runing something like exchange the first
point of contact is quite often some sort of MTA gateway running at
the ISP relaying to the local service. There is a small number of
concentration points that the messages pass through.
Mail is a service that most people care a lot about. There are very
few mail services that do not have someone responsible for them on
a daily basis.
Most of my former clients - including the small law firms - now run
in-house mail servers and don't have someone full-time to watch over them.
They treat them just like their in-house PABX/KSU phone and voicemail
systems and outsource the support as needed.
