And I just move out all my mailcow account into lifetime mxroute because I don’t want to maintain the VPS 🙂
Nothing important though
Let me know if you run into any trouble.
For blocking too much non-spam or not blocking enough spam?
I literally hear both complaints in the same day multiple times so I can't assume anything. It's frustrating to no end when people passionately want the opposite of each other
I actually don’t have any complaints on how you manage spam. I’m pretty sure I would have done a worse job on that if I managed a shared environment. It’s just that there are cases where I need to get those emails, and the sender isn’t really compliant to the standards
By directly I mean - are you using MXroute webmail - or does the spam get pulled by a mail client (Gmail, or Thunderbird and the likes) and end up in the mail client's spam box?
I wrote here about the basic checking of the inbound email headers.
I'd say your filters are just right.
My config is to set MXroute to send spam to a spam box - not delete it. So I can double check. Whitelist those I need to.
I'm also stupid enough to use Gmail as a client.
Gmail does some things very well:
1. It scans emails for any viruses and won't pull any that have viruses (I delete those off the MXroute server).
2. It has a decent spam filter that generally can be trained.
Yeah I use a client (Spark)
Where do you configure this exactly?
My MXroute spam-filter configs (cPanel and DirectAdmin)
Thanks!
Yeah I have the same perspective and did the same end result (though I'm receiving mail on a home Synology). I can't complain about how he's doing things from an overall perspective, but those odd (but necessary) senders that just don't have their act together tend to get blocked. I think the solution we've adopted is as good as it gets.
Yup. I hope the major players will just block any uncompliant messages so that everyone will at least do the basics
Anyway, I really like MXroute's sending infra though, so am sending emails through them and Mailchannels. Absolutely beautiful deliverability
Absolutely! And don't forget that in our use case MXRoute still makes a good backup for incoming mail. So I didn't even delete the MX records when I switched, I just gave them a lower priority.
Totally true! MXroute does work as a great backup (kinda) MX as well
