"I have an on-premises Microsoft Exchange system that hosts my families personal email, which has gone through several upgrades over the years. However Exchange 2013 is now too bloated for my needs, and I find myself wanting to migrate my email services to a cloud provider.

The kicker is that although I only have about 5 live accounts, I have over 200 email aliases attached to those accounts. Most of the cloud providers out there do not support this configuration, or charge per 'address' which makes the cost prohibitive for personal email.

Do any SoylentNewsers know of, or can advise the best way to migrate this lot out of my garage without losing all my aliases or having to pay through the nose?"

    In practice, what I find they're usually really talking about is using a SAAS (Software As A Service) provider, who will handle all the uptime, maintenance, hosting, and just let you configure the thing.

    Exactly this. I used the term 'Cloud' to make it clear I don't want to just move my config from my garage to a remote location and STILL be the one having to tinker with it.

    Postfix - once setup no tinkering required.
