We are no longer interested in managing/maintaining our own (dying) 
mail server (been running qmail for 6+ years) and are looking to 
outsource to an email provider that has a good track record of high 
availability (better than our current three 9's), all the standard 
add-on features included (webmail, antivirus, spam filtering, imap, 
big mailboxes, high limits on attachments + sizes), and preferably 
uses qmail (we have a small number of users but tons of 
user-*@domain.com addresses already in use and don't want to have to 
create hundreds of aliases).

Unfortunately email services are like gas stations - there's one on 
every corner and to most people they're all the same.  Most either 
don't specify that they use qmail/can handle user-* format addresses 
or don't talk about sla/high availability.  Actually, I don't really 
care what the sla says, most have crappy terms and if the service 
goes down we walk.  I want to know the service is good before we sign up.

SO... I'm hoping folks here will know better than the dozens of 
google searches we've done who's good and who isn't.

I'm not looking for quotes at this point, rather opinions and info on 
the merits of various providers and their systems.  That said, feel 
free to have your marketing guy email me directly with gratuitous 
self promotion, but please don't spam the list.  Your own horror 
stories of how so-and-so sucks (or doesn't) are most welcome.

And when you flame me for asking this here, please at least tell me 
where else to ask. ;)
