email - what advantage postfix have over gmail server -


i configured auto mail sender in ruby on rails ,set send use gmail(the gmail account , password there in ruby code)

then boss ask me change use postfix... somehow lost in configure postfix send mail.

what's advantage of postfix on gmail?

avoiding "gmail" (external email provider) provides:

  1. better privacy protection
    avoiding gmail removes unnecessary sending , receiving hop inside nsa.gov(.us) country in gmail case
  2. better trouble shouting
    debugging delivery problems simpler in email server under admins control

imho: using own email server choice companies except (very) small ones. running email server pretty cheap medium size companies. "gmail" (external email provider) may better choice when semi competent email postmaster skills unavailable @ acceptable price , privacy expectations moderate or less.

it not "one choice fits everyone" situation.
