    That server doesn't accept mail from the US. That's not anyone's problem but the owner of that server. If my numbers must be reduced to compensate for a server that zero users send mail to, so must that of every company in the United States, which would be a ridiculous notion. Why not just spin up more servers and block mail, then artificially drag every company's delivery figures down for no reason while we're at it? Maybe if we spin up enough cloud servers and block Google, we can bring Google's delivery rate down to 50% by that logic!

    Why are you being like this? Just feeling like being argumentative?

    For testing, I added a domain and also configured an alias as domain catch-all. But when I send a test email from my gmail to [email protected] I get Delivery Status Notification (Failure) with message "The response from the remote server was:
    550 High probability of spam".

    So am I configuring catch all correctly? and how can I turn off spam or at least lower its sensitivity?

    I would probably login to spamexperts and add the alias in there. It smells like SE doesn’t know it’s local.

    Francisco

    That would suck for a catchall, almost making it pointless.

    Then you cannot claim you have 100 percent delivery :D
    I can show hundreds of other cases where your delivery will be close to 0.

    Yes, for business email, where you have recipients from Gmail or Outlook (highly questionable about 100% on MS, but ok), you may get close 100.

    But 100% global delivery is not what you imagine :D

    Also, about Gmail. Will we consider a Tab like Promotion as a delivery to inbox or not?
    Gmail has enforced Tabs.

    This is not how deliverability is determined and you know it. My customers are not sending mail to people who are blocking MXroute for its reputation, and on the off chance that changes we have mitigation in place which means that our customers can send email to 100% of people who want it and are capable of receiving it. When that changes, I’ll simply adjust as necessary to mitigate. That server that no one sends mail to doesn’t want it, that’s not a deliverability issue.

    By your logic I can spin up servers and point a domain that no one wants to email to those servers, block Google, and claim that with each server I spin up I have reduced Google’s deliverability by X%. You have to be joking, you can’t be this stupid.

    I'm actively working on a 'Domain Aliases' section in the cranemail portal that'll make it easy to handle the DNS verification as well as automagically enable Spamexperts (assuming the parent domain already has it).

    Once that's done we'll work through the following:

    • easy CRUD for user aliases as well as mass alias creation/mapping via CSV
    • mass importing of email users via CSV

    Then in the new year we'll work on adding cranemail to the migration center allowing mass migrating of users.

    Backups are being worked on as well, though I've hit a few road blocks on how best to make them available to the user. Most likely just split into 2GB archives and people can walk the list.

    Not sure I follow, but any catchall that requires per alias effort makes catchall useless, IMO.

    @TimboJones said: Not sure I follow, but any catchall that requires per alias effort makes catchall useless, IMO.

    My bet is the users issue is the domain isn't listed properly in spam experts, so spamexperts doesn't see the domain as 'local' and rather that the email is trying to get relayed.

    @Francisco I've now managed to setup something closer to what is offered by other email providers such as Zoho, ProtonMail, Tuta, FastMail...in which I've multiple domains and they're all used by myself, I just want to add them as domain aliases and all emails should received from one dedicated mailbox. All good so far, I can received mails from all my domains in a single inbox. When it comes to dispatch/outgoing email, this is another story entirely. I wanted to create email alias for specific domain alias and send email from that email alias. After trying out for a day this seems to be not possible at the moment, perhaps I'm not doing it right, but I really need that to work (this is a standard feature in other email providers as well).

    For example:
    Primary domain = exampleA.com
    domain alias1 = exampleA.org
    domain alias2 = exampleA.net

    What is working now is that I can already send email AS [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] -- "admin" being the logged in user. But I would also like to extend the usage to creating email alias(es) at different domains to act as send from addresses, it doesn't work as shown in screenshot below:

    I would really like this to work as this is the only missing piece so far in my replacement for Zoho Mail. Thanks :smile:

    this will most likely not work, because each domain alias is an exact copy of the base domain,

    if you want unique aliases per domain, you add another domain via the crane panel and add the aliases that way. otherwise it is abusing the resources.

    Don't get me wrong, I can add domains that way if it matters (15 domains is more than enough for my use case) but I would rather want a unified inbox for all my domain emails and not wanting to have a different user creation for each domain with their own credentials and inbox.

    if you want to send emails using the aliased addresses, using [email protected] but show as [email protected], your client just need to be able to change the from address to work with aliases

    eM Client allows that via the account editor, you can add aliases of what to send from

    great client btw :)

    Yes I understand it will work for [email protected] (even in the smartermail web) because it's the main user (and the only user) of my primary domain. What I would like to have is the new email aliases (other than "admin") which can be created in smartermail -> domain settings, but then it will be restricted to only the primary domain i.e. [email protected] and not on other domain aliases (eg. @domain.org)

    How can I add a new domain in Namecrane portal without adding a user? By default it will be adding a "postmaster" user if not mistaken.

    NameCrane does not offer this service, that is a aliasing service, proton can offer it because they purchased SimpleLogin, addy.io is a different service again and is independent, you can however host your own addy.io instance on a cheap $10/y service like I do.

    otherwise NameCrane would need to get the addy.io source (it is on github) modify it to their own platform and work with their current mailing software etc.

    but the base service of CraneMail is not an aliasing service. CraneMail is meant to be a replacement to gsuite.

  • Thanks for your reply. I assumed it would be standard practice for dedicated mail hosts. Runbox has been doing this since at least 2012 (and I would think longer) with multiple domain names. Isn't this how Fastmail works?

    @dgc1980 said: CraneMail is meant to be a replacement to gsuite

    Despite having little experience with Google, I am surprised they don't do it.

    I understand why you call it an "aliasing service", which implies it is something to be added on. But as Runbox has proven, it can work as simply a natural by-product of mail hosting and webmail.

    @mansoor said: Whatever, option you add, should allow to script to set a schedule so its automated.

    Current ideas for backups are as follows:

    • backups that include the file storage will be taken once a month
    • mail-only backups will be taken once per week
    • Initially it'll be .zip files
    • Talks of somehow securely exposing rsync/sftp options

    In comparison:

    -Office 365 charges for backups per GB (not sure if they charge for bandwidth too)
    - Zoho includes a single monthly backup it seems, more requires pay (there's also a 'max downloads in a given month of a backup)
    - Google Workspaces allows 1 full download of your data per month. I'm not sure how many times the backup can be downloaded

    We don't want to over deliver on this and then we're having to scale it back because people ripping bandwidth all the time (sharing the rsync/sftp to turn it into a file dump of sorts, etc).

    Francisco

    One solution could be to push the backups instead of letting users pull them.
    An interface to schedule backups where you can enter hostname, protocol (sftp/scp/S3/..), authentication, and when the backup is created it is pushed to the destination. This way you could easily limit it to reasonable values, like full backup once a month and one upload. Adding options like "re-upload" and stuff like that shouldn't be to difficult.

    you can add aliases, send as aliases, reply using them, it all depends on the mail software you are using, but it will not be automatic like it is with aliasing services.

    Please let me know if there is ever a lifetime email storage of ~10 GB.

    Wouldn't happen, at least not any cheaper than what the 250G Lifetime is priced at. The resource pricing is negligible, the real cost is support/etc over the long term.

    This is extremely aggressively priced already, there won't be a smaller & cheaper plan available at any point.

    $20/3yr is a good value for your use case if you don't want to commit to the lifetime.

    forgive me for this feeble (unfortunately unsuccessful) attempt to get a similar christmas present (100G lifetime) as another user in another forum. :)

  • Thank you. Your replies are helpful, mainly to get a clearer answer about what NameCrane is (not) offering.

    @dgc1980 said:

    I assume you mean Addy.io and SimpleLogin. With those services, making full use of one's domain name in one mailbox is not "automatic". In fact, dealing with reverse aliases can create a lot of extra manual work.

    @dgc1980 said:

    So with NameCrane, does a customer need to create a separate mailbox for each local-part? Would each mailbox have its own credentials?

    It sounds like I might need to get familiar with the SmaterMail documentation in case more is possible than is being communicated here.

  • @Turbo_Pascal said: I assume you mean Addy.io and SimpleLogin. With those services, making full use of one's domain name in one mailbox is not "automatic". In fact, dealing with reverse aliases can create a lot of extra manual work.

    yes, I was meaning about addy.io etc, they are already configured to work automatically( handing of the forwarding or emails etc via your aliases) out of the box for your requirements, where doing it with SmarterMail requires a lot more work having to manually change your sent from address etc

    @Turbo_Pascal said: So with NameCrane, does a customer need to create a separate mailbox for each local-part? Would each mailbox have its own credentials?

    you can configure accounts for each email address, or you can setup a catchall (anything@domain) to go to a single account, or add aliases for each address you want to go to a selected email account.

    so you can setup [email protected] and [email protected] to go to [email protected] and configure your email client to download from one account and configure the outgoing address within the client with any of the aliases you setup. so it requires a lot of work and setup to do it this way, that is why I said addy.io etc as "automatic" as there are extensions to generate a alias to use, and addy.io will handle everything else without you have to manage anything.

    Thanked by 1Turbo_Pascal
  • Thanks. I'm still not sure how much "work" you're describing in NameCrane. Maybe I need to try a dummy domain name to see how much work it actually is for a hundred or so local-parts. It shouldn't require a lot of manually setting up. But maybe I should just believe you that it is, in fact, too much work.

    @dgc1980 said: doing it with SmarterMail requires a lot more work having to manually change your sent from address

    In Runbox webmail, this is only a matter of selecting a "sent from" address in a drop-down menu inside the compose window. Fastmail works the exact same way. Is that what you mean by "manual"?

    I can see why someone would describe Addy.io or SimpleLogin as "automatic" if that person has never experienced mail hosting and webmail that makes an aliasing service unnecessary to begin with.

    In my view on a score of 1-100, our deliverability is a 100. I’m not trying to not be humble, but I won’t downplay the blood, sweat, tears, and endless hours. Anyone who doesn’t accept mail from us, we’re looking at a situation where the email itself is the problem and not us. I just have to remind t-online.de of this every couple years 😂

    Right now that’s about a zero.
