I didn't even get into the remaining compatible with the existing contacts system. CalDAV was green field, but CardDAV had to integrate with the web, with spam scanning (whitelist/score bonus for known users), with mailing list address book groups, ...

Miserable, this kind of stuff is why I don't run my own mail server any more. Happy Fastmail customer since 2006.

"Only this one user had problem. But he had pretty bad problems, and I wanted to fix this properly."

That's why I'm a Fastmail customer.

I'm going to repost an earlier question I had about FastMail ...

It seems like everyone I read loves using FastMail for personal email/calendar/contacts.

What I haven't found is many Businesses using FastMail for corporate email/calendar/contacts.

Can someone compare FastMail (for business usage) to Office 365 and/or Google Apps?

Fastmail is email and calendaring not for cloud based based document editing / file storage.

I might go that route myself. I've been running my own email server since 2012 and I'm just tired of having my stuff constantly flagged as spam

It's clear from tiffanyh's comment that the question is about the mail/calendar/address book part. Though, I cannot give an answer to that question. From my experience with a personal account, I can say that Fastmail permits much more customization.
