I first got a triennial 100G just bcoz I saw Fran's name associated with the brand. After using it I realized it's not only mail it's so much freaking more. Then I put in a ticket to let me upgrade to lifetime plan. I have been enjoying that. Now I see more lifetime options and I'm wondering if I ask for a further upgrade, wud @NameCrane shoot me at sight ....
Yes, minus Singapore. I've been caught up with a few things and haven't finished setting up the routing.
Francisco
No need to ask, you can upgrade yourself right in billing, just pay the difference.
Francisco
2 questions Fran:
If I choose to upgrade let's say a year from now will the prices for different packages vary compared to current prices?
Do u plan to launch any kind of app for ur storage option? I like the em client for Android but that's only specific to mail and even calendar/contacts r only visible in the windows edition? Cud we in the future see a combined app? Like wt is ur plan for the future as of now?
You'll pay whatever the price is in the future. If need to lock the price in, you best do it now. As we've mentioned, the lifetimes go up in price, and the BF deals go away until next year.
The main goals at the moment is to fill some gaps in the cranemail portal (alias handled is up next with easy mass creation options). We have a developer that's working on rclone support, we'll need to test that.
We don't want to get too far ahead until we hear more from Smartermail and their plans. From what we've heard they're doing a pretty major uplift to expand on the collaboration and improve the file storage/sharing.
Some users have asked us to implement something like addy.io, but I don't know how they even work, so i'll need to see how easily we can replicate it. Backups are another big thing that we've promised to get sorted. I need to see how well my ideas scale for that.
With us now having a good feel for module development our next major project is to finalize domains. Then we'll start to integrate everything together (free cranemail account with every domain for instance).

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
Thanks now it works!
Another question, does smartermail have a unified inbox for all the domains I added? If not, can I achieve it by redirecting all catchall of my domains to a single specific inbox? (How)
I wonder if you could use plus addressing to auto filter it into inboxes. Smartermail does auto folder filtering if you enable it.
Francisco
I would try that, but then I wonder if it has the ability to send from different domains. Say I set my domainA as primary and forward all emails (catchall) to it and best if I don't have to create a mailbox for each domain I added as I just need to collect all emails from my primary domain, and of course still being able to send emails from different domain in domainA mailbox.
P.S. I'm actually using mailcow +SoGo which can achieve the above hence I asked if SmarterMail has the same features because it's, smarter
Singapore has poor deliverability overall. The same as Dubai.
)
I use Dubai to bypass local geo restrictions for emails (yes, such even exist
But global filtering is high.
Only US is suitable if you need good delivery.
EU is ok. Slovenia and Slovakia are at the top. Then go Czechia, then Poland, then France and etc. But still filtering exists.

In my case, I have to download and protect all my customers so having it in one place would be better. Customers are not technically savvy and diligent to do it myself. I have a PHPbackup script that logs on to WHM and initiates remote backup for all my cpanel accounts. For DA, it just lets me enter a remote location in the reseller panel and the schedule and it does the rest itself which is awesome.
Whatever, option you add, should allow to script to set a schedule so its automated.
Current ideas for backups are as follows:
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
I would like to ask why emails sent to me are often received very late.
disable greylisting in account setting
I configured the setting after creating the account, but it doesn't seem to work.
bought a .is domain.
now it's time for namecrane europe to take off
If you use spamexperts it won’t have that delay normally. The smartermail default has graylisting which adds 15 minutes or so of delay.
Francisco

Namecrane email delivery is different depending on world location?
Lifetime offers are becoming more and more tempting. Please let me know if there is ever a lifetime email storage of ~10 GB. I am looking for a management solution for my disposable email accounts linked to one of my domains. I use these for giveaways, special offers and newsletters that I occasionally need to access. A normal disposable email account is not enough for this.
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.
What is surprising here?
It is a general thing.
Mail from Asia will be rejected by some mail servers based on the geo of the IP.
However, you need UAE or Singapore IP for delivery to some local providers or companies servers, they will not accept US. Will get error like
550 Your country is not allowed to connect to this server..You may test your setup and delivery to providers like interia.pl, etc
Together, Addy.io and SimpleLogin represent the standard. Each, if I recall, can be self-hosted.
It isn't clear yet whether NameCrane can offer one of those directly. If not, we might consider how to achieve the same benefits. An alternative practice, outlined below, is offered by some mail hosts (ie, NameCrane's competitors). In fact, this design eliminates SimpleLogin's biggest inconvenience: reverse aliases.
Does NameCrane already offer this usage pattern? I'd like to make NameCrane my primary mail host, and I need to accomplish the above (or some reasonably similar setup).
@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
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 😂
Try to send here:
[email protected]
t-online, now that brings back memories
An individual intentionally blocking email on their own server, that zero customers have attempted to send any mail to in the last 30 days (likely more), to prove a point is hardly worth dropping my claim over.
