for sending from web mail I tried it works fine
Open a ticket and we can take a look.
I would make sure you have a 'display name' set inside of Smartermail since that can cause an issue.

Ticket Created #CRANE-10118
Thank you
I was asking about the server side encryption, good to know the data is stored encrypted at rest
Are these provisioned manually? Ordered yesterday and it still says pending. Trying to determine if it is waiting for me to do something.
I was curious about this as well, considering how important is encryption at rest. Glad that namecrane is doing the encryption.
At what level is the encryption done, and what does it protect against?
Although I'm not sure how exactly to understand "encrypted at rest" in this context, I'm pretty sure that we're not talking about "zero-access encryption" (unless one uses PGP encryption)
Which isn't a criticism per se, but it's important to be clear about what is meant/intended
I'd assume it's standard LUKS encryption (or similar) where the whole disk is encrypted.
Can we use this for outbound SMTP relaying? I self-host my emails for a few domains, but I have catchall email addresses at those domains at another provider and use that provider just for sending emails.
If I get a lifetime plan now, can I upgrade it to get more space in the future even if you discontinue lifetime plans?
I got a ticket didn't get reply and it's already 16 hours can you please help getting some progress?

Sorry about that, I'll take a look. It's most likely in my queue.
I was busy all day working at the the DC on the new SQL node, and then dealing with DB Shenker at the same time.
Francisco
Oh sorry to pushing you, thanks for your time sparing!
ZFS native encryption.
Yeah that's perfectly fine to use it for relaying.
The lifetimes won't go away, they'll just go up in price to balance stock. So you can upgrade later but the price difference will be bigger. So if you had a 250G right now you'd just pay another $69.42 to bump to 500G. If you upgrade in a couple weeks after the price hike (~$10 more per 250G), then you'd be paying that new price for the upgrade.
Had the same problem. As @Francisco said, the culprit was 'Display Name'.
In my case i had it set but with spanish name with special characters (an accent). Removed the special character and all good.
Anyone has trouble accessing the service over IMAP? I'm getting an error message on my iPhone seemingly out of nowhere. The same accounts over EWS in Apple Mail on Mac are fine
Edit: Nevermind, restarted the app and is now connecting. Must have been a glitch from a previous VPN session. Sorry about that
Are you using a vpn on your phone maybe? Given it says dns.
Francisco
I just removed some IP blocks - blacklisted for bad login attempts/etc. Try again and make sure the password is correct.
OK, so it might have just coincided with your IP unblocking (and I don't think I've attempted with the wrong password, haven't touched that since configuring everything). But it does work now, thank you!
I tried changing the display name, and the email could be sent.my display name yesterday was an email address like [email protected] . maybe this special character is causing the error. thanks for the reminder
Any news on which date the EU lifetime plan will come out? Would love to buy one, but NV has too much latency from where I am physically placed.
@NameCrane Do you by any chance offer creation of inboxes at a domain that NameCrane owns, like [email protected] or whatever? I don't care about branding my emails, but I am concerned about a hypothetical feces-hitting-the-fan situation where I can't renew my domain name for some reason and lose access to my email and therefore to my entire online and financial life.
Soon, if the shipping company ever picks up the crate. @Francisco thinks we're getting another box of crane parts delivered to the DC.
Nah, we only work with your domains. There's a lot of overhead in making sure people don't completely burn the domain's reputation or do illegal things with it.
For important stuff I usually pay for multiple years on the domain. Pick a domain and then register it for 10 years and it becomes less of a problem you need to think about.
I mean, I guess we should thank them for coming up with the name for us...?
Francisco
To add to that, .xyz is cheap if you're fine with a 9 digits only domain. It's a buck or two a year, so throwing 10 years at it is easy enough and a good 'break glass' domain as a friend likes to call it.
Francisco
Actually I am thinking about getting my phone number .xyz. This is crazy cheap and usually on sales on many registrars.
6 digits will do. I have a 6-digit one that costs only $0.68 or so a year.
First time using an email hosting provider like CraneMail. I was going to buy email hosting from elsewhere but the pricing for CraneMail is just too good. Before, I've mainly used Proton/Tuta and Gmail. So far, it has been working great.
Even better.
Francisco
Set it to auto renew.
It's a really bad idea to use a domain provided by an email company, because then you're essentially locked into using that company unless you want to spend time updating all your accounts to a new email address. Using your own domain is more professional and decouples you from the provider.
