Domain emails - should I be switching to mxroute?

I actually joined this site to pm @jar after some Google searches but I figured why bother him directly.

So can someone educate me? I'm fairly techy in general but email-wise this is as far as I am:

Currently I own a few domains over at Namecheap and 3 email inboxes (2 for the same domain). The main email is used via Kit (Convertkit) to send emails to about 7k mailing list via my domain (in terms of DMARC if that makes sense - as I understand it). The other 2 emails are just for customer service. For all 3 emails, I use Gmail interface via pop3 forwarding.

After purchasing my 3rd email and realizing Namecheap would charge me $3.49 monthly for it, I started Googling and found this site.

Is mxroute something I can or should switch to? Or would I only be moving over my inboxes and still need to host my domains somewhere else?

What's the most cost-effective option

    MXroute don't sell domains, so you'd pay for them elsewhere but you'd "host" them (or the email) at MXroute.

    You mentioned a 7k mailing list though. Here's the specific rule regarding that: "Any kind of mass mailing campaign to a list of recipients that did not go through a double opt in process", "Marketing email" [Forbidden Services]

    If you want to pay for your domain where you get your mail, you could consider a MXroute reseller.

    Although I don't know of any myself...

    Whomever owns that needs to update the outbound limit from 300 to 400. I'm sure they'll do it soon.

    I know the owner, it should be updated 👌

    Always glad to have you. Just make sure to read over this for good measure, it's actually a SUPER short read: https://mxroute.com/policy.html

    Like that policy is ridiculously small.

    https://namecrane.com/store/email-hosting-deals is great. You can expect more professionalism from them than MXRoute, in my opinion.

    But both are known for great email delivery. It just comes to personal preference really.

    Oh right, my bad. The expert of LET that signed up on March 11th knows more about the people here than the former admin.

    Maybe this is the reason you are a former admin. I seriously have no idea who that guy is bro.

  • huge +1 for mxroute. i have no desire to use anything else, price irrespective.

    Go with @jar if you really care about your email. Cranemail is alright, I trust those behind it but not using it personally.... So you know. @jar been around... Tested and proven to work... hard to fault.

    Then I really like Workspace, but that comes with a price tag.

    Also, you could lookup Ksuite. Very nice.

    Cloudflare as registrar + either mentioned above should give you a setup without any many worries.

    If you want to keep domain and email at one place (not my recommendation but saves 'trouble', lookup ksuite = infomaniak = registrar = swiss = Prem.

    You need to chill. I wrote one message like four months ago when your service went down and you're still thinking about it. Seriously, you have your own business that's doing excellently (with maybe a few tax issues but you're doing well enough to get that sorted out) and you spend your time thinking that I, a university student living in his own squalor is trying to fucking troll you on the Internet.

    Maybe let someone else take over the LET communications for a while if you can't handle ONE person posting ONCE about your downtime.

    The appearance of a sudden concerted effort by inactive/new accounts, none calling out anything new or unusual, is interesting and I appreciate all of the data you provide along the way. I have my theories as to the source. Go ahead and call it paranoia, I've been around here long enough to have seen it all. Gaslighting doesn't work on me. I appeared paranoid to many, every single time I called out yet another Prout scam, it never deterred me.

    It seems more like schizophrenia tbh, not that there is anything wrong with schizophrenic people.

    From a strictly e-mail perspective, MXRoute is top notch. You really won't go wrong choosing them @musabee. Passionate and very active owner/team.

    Rumor has it he spends more in a single Taco Bell visit than I've paid him to send probably 100,000 critical business e-mails over 3+ years. I've always been treated amazingly well, even from my very first signup as a complete nobody random.

    It's really simple: I'd absolutely recommend @jar and doubly so for OnePoundEmail if you need the domain aspect too.

    Female and Male? Why does a Female have to get a Male under control?

    Let's just all calm down and enjoy a nice refreshing email subscription.

    @jar any coupons?

    How are you still on about this? You are editing your replies multiple times to insist that there is some sockpuppeting conspiracy against you.

    In December I posted complaining that your service was down and you then replied to me, and sent me two PMs about your personal beef with other people, and I didn't even reply to those because I felt bad for you. You are still thinking about me four fucking months later. Because of a single post.

    They don't... Females are running the world. Get out of you bubble.

    Use coupon code "IHAVESCREENSHOTS" for 75% off (recurring) any service, for 10 orders. Works on promotions as well. And it's a quick reminder to someone who likes to fan any appearance of flames that are sent my way the last few months, that I have screenshots of everything you don't want anyone to know (LET admins being among them, but the least of them).

    You sound like someone who shouldn't be trusted at any point. I bet you keep dirt on your friends too.
    Assuming these screenshots even contain anything relevant, as you have accused me of being someone I am not, your investigative skills are quite weak.

  • I love it when haters enable me to get a really great deal.
