Thanks

Signup captcha is a problem though as they use Russian or whatever those are characters...

Might be a Russian-only service

I only saw numbers in the signup captcha. They have an english signup area for the main account. Then the mailbox area signup is in russian (but the captcha was still in numbers)

Using outlook.com. Never used them, but it seems to work great and I like the interface. And best of all, the Zendesk forwarders actually work. They didn't with Zoho.

Outlook is great indeed, it's under rated because of hotmail.

Another thing -

I've got my site set up under a VPS and am using Mandrill (SMTP) for mail in WHMCS. However, it's not sending the emails which makes me think I need something on my VPS. Any ideas?

Seems to be sending some not all, very slowly now

Outlook.com seems to be putting loads of things into spam so i'm missing a great portion of emails.

Any ideas?

Add senders that it keeps happening to to Contacts, keep flagging legitimate emails as "Not junk" and train the filter.

I was going to outsource my email but I have numerous domains and didn't want to pay someone to host them. I just completed a mail server install this morning and decided to use Mandrill for SMTP.

Internal mail goes out through local SMTP but my phone is set up to send via Mandrill's SMTP. Works fine thus far.

Mandrills picking up pace again after we emailed them, it "just works".

Jacob

I don't see why people bother using anything other then smtp.com, they're by far the company with the highest uptime providing mail services, and I literally get every mail delivered to Inbox, which I know also depends on choice of keywords but when I check at the end of the month, it is only <10-20 bounced out of 5K'ish.

For one thing mandrill has a free plan for those who dont send many emails.
