I understand that Security is rarely if ever free - but $10/user/month - this is really just an example of the government mandate and the ability of these companies to hold us over a barrel at this cost.
I think that it is more a sign of how lazy companies are. $10/user is a bit of money. But there are free options. People just don't like them. You could set up something like Zix, it's really not all that complicated. But the effort to do so and the cost of running such a service would make it hard to maintain.
If you think about the fact that they are doing something niche, that is more complicated than Exchange and only MS pulls off Exchange for $4/user. Rackspace charges $12/user for Exchange as do several other third party vendors. So $10 really isn't out of line with niche, high end email offerings.
