mxroute
Me with Mail-in-a-Box ...
MXRoute for personal & general smtp use.
Mailcow, some domain with external smtp relay
mailcheap.co
mxroute as well, so far so good
Fastmail, very happy with it but it's expensive.
My own
Gmail for the noise, personal site’s email via
zohoMXroute.Added later:
Had used inbox dot eu before but decided to try MXroute since business has multiple domains. Liked it, moved the personal account. also seeing this thread and comments from @jar seems like a good move so far.
Mailcow with external relay and MXroute
May I ask you the reason you moved out?
Postfix.
namecheap.. actually very cheap
I also use MXroute, works great for my needs. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking.
just that i see guys from reddit moved out as they say due to privacy concern. And good to have your own self hosted since for me its a learning curve and to understand more about it.
Can Gmail be set to retrieve emails from MXroute using POP3, or some other methods?
Can it also be configured to use MXroute for sending emails using Gmail?
To be precise - would like being able to do something exactly like this:

Another question:
MS Exchange vs Gsuite vs MXroute - what are the differences in practice (price aside)?
Your link already answered your question
Yes, I support POP3, IMAP, and SMTP. No hoops to jump through, just the basic protocols as expected. I try to keep it simple on that front while my real work goes to the outbound infrastructure, because I'm obsessed with high quality outbound delivery.
Cloudcone hosted email platform... works good enough for my current needs but I don’t use it often enough to be able to evaluate its’ reliability.
If I use a lifetime promotion, with unlimited domains and email accounts, would this be considered a fair use:
Say 20 domains, with 2-3 emails for each domain, configure them to store emails elsewhere (not using the 10 GB storage limit).
300 outbound emails per hour is "counted" for all the accounts on aggregate, or per email, or domain?
When 301st email gets sent, does it get discarded, or just "held back" then re-sent the next hour?
Not planning any mailing lists - doesn't look like a solution for that though.
But being able to receive any emails is important (even if filter thinks they are spam - would like the option of checking that and allowing some, at least manually), as well as good deliverability.
Sure, that won't bother me any.
It gets returned. The real limit is over 300 but I can't say by how much, it's a dice roll. It's 300 per hour per sender on each outbound filter server, which is DNS round robin (aka not true round robin, not evenly distributed).
Just to clarify:
If one account is used to set up:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Does each of those emails get 300 per hour limit?
Or it is counted on aggregate, since both are set up with the same account?
P.S. anyone used Yandex?
https://connect.yandex.com/pdd/
Gmail for transactions & Yahoo for forum & web site signups
Each one. The filter servers aren't smart enough to know they're connected, it's just pulling the headers and grabbing the sender.
the good thing about what i like in mailcow is the Domain Admin can enable 2way authentication and brute force check is already enabled by default.
The anti spam features are better then Gmail according to my preference.
Just a quick survey: for all using MXRoute, who are actively using CrossBox?
Also @jar, I vaguely remember reading before, at the onset of this whole cPanel saga, that you were considering moving to a different panel? And because of that, MXRoute's support for CrossBox is in limbo? Is this impression of mine accurate?
Right now my thinking is that crossbox will actually carry over to the new system, but I haven't yet tested that. There will be a ton of considerations before a change, to make sure that at least most customers see it as an upgrade.
MXRoute since 2015, running rock solid. Referred like 5-6 clients/friends and they couldn't be any happier. Referred the last one yesterday
I heard about your business only this year. Good reputation.
Am seriously considering betting a 100$ that it will work (lifetime license).
My goal is to find a reliable way for most emails to arrive to my inbox and also to have all the emails arrive at the destination (just regular replies and confirmations). I understand that for mailing lists and thousands of emails, SendGrid, or similar solutions are required.
Also looking at MS Exchange and G-suite, but MX Route looks like a decent option, even for business (unless sending tons of emails, of course).
For sending more emails - can MX Route be used with SendGrid if/when sending more emails is needed (sorry if it's a stupid question - didn't google on that yet)?
Does that "avoid" the 300 emails per hour limit in any way?
Another question for the 2way mail confirmation requirement, if SendGrid integration works:
If customers subscribe to my service. Like registering on the website. And I send email schedules for meetings/classes/whatever to thousands of them. Does that get flagged as spamming?
To clarify: signing on the website would have them understand and desire to be notified (that is: not informing would be considered a problem and have 99.9% customers angry).
But I don't think asking them to opt in for the 2nd time would be practical to most.
Example: sign up for yoga classes. You'll get notified of any schedule changes via website and to your e-mail, that you used to register with the website/create account.
Is it problem if the number of customers is in (hundreds of) thousands - if using SendGrid?
No spaming, no marketing/promotion emails, just schedules, re-schedules and important notifications (along with invoices, payment confirmations emails etc.).
Is your solution a good tool for this, or would you recommend something else?
Gmail for personal and domain registration. Yandex for incoming emai. And yahoo disposable email for some fishy forums
Kind of ... they are oddly picky that each email account belongs to a different physical person. Which is illogical. Other than that, it seems great other than you are obliged to use their DNS for the domain that they host email on - which I am not overly fond of.
