A mini rackspace VPS is about $14/month.  If you have more than 7 
users, it might be worth it to run your own mail swerver.  I run 
postfix, courier-imap, and roundcube on a rackspace VPS.  Works fine, 
has been working for about 10 years.  Not many problems with mail 
getting dropped on the floor or anything.  I don't get much mail at this 
address or send much mail from this address, though that's going to 
change.

rackspace used to have a serious problem with spammers.  They may have 
fixed this in recent years.  If they have, then it might work fine to 
use their mail service.  It seems kind of expensive to me though.
