>> why not just point them at a hosting service like google apps, and let
google keep things up to date?

Costs money, and also the problem is that gmail imposes heavy spam filters
and "reputation blocks" meaning smaller providers with low email volumes,
are put in the spam folder, even if they never send spam, just because their
email volume is so low (ergo, they must prove they don't spam before getting
out of ispam folder)

Another thing is that you cannot impose IP restrictions when using Google
Apps, or have SSO with trusted access from inside the office. (for example -
scan your badge at the office door, your personal computer is automatically
logged on and you get access to everything).

With locally hosted servers, of course you have to keep them updated. Most
linux distributions can keep them updated automatically.
