As mentioned, this isn't just hosted software... it is a full featured service. So you're getting hosted software, yes, but also email is being handled by our servers, and we've set up a system that will improve deliverability, speed and help keep you off of black lists and gray lists. If you do get black listed, we help resolve it if it's possible, and if there are deliverability problems or black list problems, we help you determine the root of the problem so you can fix it going forward.

Setting up all of these things yourself would involve more than just licensing software.

This is a service where we get you set up, then you focus on marketing and running your lists.

Why do you pay your hosting company when you can just buy a box and a T1 connection to your office? Sure you can set all that up yourself, but almost nobody does. And even if you did, unless you're a system admin or hire a specialist, you're gonna run into regular issues with only "linux for dummies" to help. ;) And do you have the ability to really diagnose problems that may arise with deliverability? Speed and efficiency? If you have all this, you probably did it already.
