I would be scared if they were running there own mail server. It would likely be some EOL exchange server on very old hardware. Also chances are everything else would be mismanaged.
Comment on How to convince my uni / dept. to switch to Mastodon?

"that's the great part -- you don't!"
But Honestly, it'd be pretty damn cool. I wouldn't be too surprised to find they don't even run their own mail server though.

The obvious point being that if they're not going to even run their own mail server, they won't run their own fediverse server.

365 and G Suite educational licenses are significantly cheaper than running Exchange. Almost everywhere switched over years ago.
