    I am not sure why you think this way ... they get an email that asks them to click a link to confirm that the email is correct and confirm that they indeed want your mails. What is impractical about that?

    As long as you can afford the bill that SendGrid charges it doesn't matter because the emails will never touch MXRoute.

    That part would be necessary for the registration.
    But no need for further application to "mailing notification list" or something.
    Only an opt-out option.

    ProtonMail, Tutanota and MXRoute.

  • Been using MXRoute for a few years now, a great service, prices and support

  • mailbox.org , mxroute, mailgun.

    I could probably move the stuff using mailgun to mxroute if I could be bothered, it's usually less than 100 emails a month unless I break something and upset zabbix.

    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.

    You just need to send them a link that they click to confirm subscription. If you don't, you'll find your website being abused to flood other people's inboxes with spam, and I would personally consider it unsolicited/spam after briefly reviewing why so many emails bounced back on a regular basis. Remember you don't have to be known or popular to be abused in this way, almost none of the mailing lists used by sites like these are: https://mailbait.info/

    To this day I'm still working on unsubscribing from thousands of obscure internal college mailing lists that I was signed up for by a pedophile I reported to a web host. They don't require double opt in because they thought "who would abuse this or even know it exists?"

    Tutanota, Mailbox.org (for one of my domains) and self hosting in Cloudron for another domain. I also have an account setup in Mailgun with Google refer (30k mails month) for when my Mailbox.org subscription runs out.

  • pullangcubo said: And because of that, MXRoute's support for CrossBox is in limbo?

    Crossbox isn't tightly coupled with cPanel... It works with other panels too (DirectAdmin, Plesk, ...) and there's also a standalone version.

    I'm still using legacy free Google Apps accounts for some domains that I've had for a long time, and MXRoute for a few others. MXRoute has been pretty good so far.

    P.S. (as I just happened to see him and be reminded). If I ever used a 3rd party service it would probably be @jar 's service because I have heard only good things from his customers (minus the usual exceptions) and his prices are quite OK.

    bikegremlin said: P.S. anyone used Yandex?

    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.

    MX Records only. Using their nameservers is optional.

    I will have to reinvestigate this then ... of course the MX records have to be pointed to Yandex, but the name servers also were required to be pointed to theirs at the time I investigated this.
    But having them constantly block the main Yandex mail account because 'it appears that the messages being sent are spam' coupled with seemingly wanting each account to list the actual persons name of the account holder makes using Yandex for domains potentially too much of a potential issue.

  • My current setup for mail is mix of a few provider I need to get around and consolidate it.

    A few domains at Mxroute other domain on self hosted Mailcow and one domain at Yandex, probably move all domain to my Mailcow server.

  • Mxroute for me.

  • Re: Mailbox.org, this is the first time for me to come across this email provider and they seem to have nice features; I'm particularly interested with their implementation of a personal office. What's your experience with them?

    The limit on email aliases is a bummer though; I currently have 100+ aliases and that's the one that I think I'll have issues with it.

  • nepsneps Member

    G Suite and Mxroute.

    Well, I don't use their office capabilities and I don't use their web client (used a few times), but overall it has been very good for me.

    I use catch-all to solve the alias problem as I use a different email for each account I set up. I recommend them, only thing that bothers me is their implementation of 2FA.

    It's openexchange under the hood, not sure if they've done any customisation to it, at the end of the day it's relatively cheap, it syncs contacts and calendar with my phone and it works.

    I can't really comment on the office features as I barely use them, but the webmail is decent.

    They claim to have good spam filtering but I found some crap was getting through, I ended up putting spamexperts in front, then again I have an email address that has been exposed in who knows how many data leaks so it's probably on every spam list known to man.

    Yandex.Mail is free with unlimited use but I just felt like moving to my own. With Amazon SES I am on the free tier so there is no charge for now.

  • Using mxroute.

    yes i know you just add a credit card it gives you 1 year for free to access all the products that comes under free tier but after that what happens? i think you have to switch since the cost will be more .
