SOHO Email Hosting or Alternatives

If outsourcing is acceptable, Google Apps for domains will give you
the most fully featured options, with no effort and no cost
(optional).  It's hard to beat.  http://www.google.com/a/

For a slightly larger company, any good hosting company should provide
the ability to have a large number of real addresses (and forwards),
webmail, spamfiltering, etc.  I speak from direct knowledge, since I
offer that now, stock, and so does any credible hosting company
offering cpanel/etc.

If you are talking about inhouse hosting, I don't think a small SOHO
should be doing that, since the time/costs aren't worth the effort.
Hosting costs as low as $5 a month will yield the above features, and
I don't think it can be done inhouse for $60 a year (in time to setup
and maintain it all if nothing else)
