That’s my point. Basic SMTP email is a far cry from today’s modern email suites like Office365 or Gsuite. Suggesting a self hosted basic SMTP email as a replacement for a modern enterprise is not realistic.
But that’s not how it works now, does it? There’s plenty of FOSS alternatives. postfix, mailcow, dovecot, openSMTPD, just to name a few. I’m sure the US government used or still uses postfix under the hood in certain circles btw, even if most of their IT provisioning just deals with Exchange.
i think they used email as a reference point in time. that they had the necessary tools before google did email

I don’t think they specifically meant the email system, but then they didn’t being examples so its hard to know.
what are the benefits of gsuite and office 365? I ask because I don’t use them
