There are a number of benefits of using a 3rd party to handle this. These include: Multiple MX records (Redundancy) You server hid from the Internet (Obscurity) JunkMail and Virus scanning processes off loaded from your server (Distributing work load) Dedicated configuration and updates (Work off your shoulders) This is a very cost effective and reliable option.
