it's cheap and cheerful alright. but can be very effective. you have the
advantage of the email filtering process to protect you from a lot of
nasties.
i've used it a lot where cheap and cheerful fits the bill. the biggest
problem is congestion with other email traffic so you can't guarantee
response times. if that's important then you need a more dedicated
product or a more sophistcated email setup.
i use sendmail for these little applications :) as it's pretty easy to
configure these days.
