I use Smarthost for email hosting. I spent some time looking for a reliable and affordable system. Smarthost really stood out, Ian is extremely helpful and out of everyone I contacted he was the only one to follow up with a call. The package is great value, it was really easy to set up and Ian has been really helpful again on the technical side of things. I would highly recommend using Smarthost.
