[MXroute] Black Friday 2021

NOTE: I am aware that Sucuri IDS is preventing some users from opening tickets. Email [email protected] from the email address that you used to sign up at accounts.mxroute.com if needed. This is temporary and in weighing the pros and cons of a unique situation, this is the lesser evil.

Hey friends,

This year I'm keeping it short. If you've been watching, you've noticed that I don't really do many promotions for MXroute throughout the year anymore. This is a trend that will continue into the next year. With that in mind, if you've been waiting for a promotion to jump on board (as so many reach out to me and tell me they are), you shouldn't hold out to see if there's more. With the damage to the hardware market over the last almost two years, the continual drop in overhead over time due to slowly decreasing costs for compute and storage is on pause for the foreseeable future. With such a big question mark hanging out there, my focus is on sustainability.

MXroute is an email provider where customers bring their own domains. Our customers range from well funded startups to that guy in the corner over there trying to hack all of your cell phones while you read this, just to see if he can do it. We provide all of the universal standards you should expect: IMAP, SMTP, POP3. We have a DirectAdmin-based control panel and while it isn't everything you've dreamed of for managing email it does a pretty damn good job, and it's not really our selling point. We offer the finest webmail you've ever laid eyes upon called Crossbox, both for your browser and with our native branded apps for both iOS and Android. We're still rocking Roundcube and Rainloop because you've gotta have those time tested standbys (and personally I use Roundcube more than anything, just habit). We use rspamd for our inbound filtering system and we have a custom, open source rule set. Yeah we know it's not Google's anti-spam system, but we're trying to challenge the market not mirror it ;)

This year we've added Afterlogic Pro which includes CalDAV and CardDAV, two highly requested features. Please note that they are part of a licensed webmail app and not features developed or managed by MXroute, it's unlikely anything there will be adjustable by request.

A brief FAQ:

Q: Can I switch my plan to this promo?
A: You can purchase a new promo and migrate your own data to it freely, but no action will be taken on our part to assist with the billing or migration when moving to a promo. It's nothing personal, it's just how we sustain promotions by relying on our automated systems, and promos are often entirely based on newly provisioned servers.

Q: Can I really add UNLIMITED domains?
A: Ok real talk. If you add so many domains that it breaks a server, we have no choice but to consider that "Server Abuse" by our Terms of Service. I don't know what that number is, but if you have to randomly generate the domain names and push them over the API to add them all by end of year then yeah that's probably the number. Since 2013 we've had 2 customers find out what that number was for them, and I don't think you're statistically likely to find yourself in their company. We're not going to be dicks about it btw, we fully refunded those 2 customers.

Q: What kind of services don't you allow?
A: Good question. Leak forums (forum where people shared leaked password databases), adult forums (you know, porn), anyone who has to send hundreds of emails at a time to qq.com (I don't even know), deceptive use of third party services through us (ex. randomly generating email accounts to sign up for 5,000 Steam accounts), forward-only service for a massive number of domains (11.8k domains under one account was the number that broke it and added that to policy).

Q: What is your refund policy?
A: Pitchforks. Please don't sign up if you think you might want a refund. I'd rather lose the potential sale. I really don't care if it's unfriendly, it's the only way to stop people from forcing me to offer "Free trials" and eating the overhead that they generate. That overhead bleeds into our actual client's services if I let it, and I will violently refuse to raise prices on my customers.

Q: Where are your servers located?
A: You'll most likely be provisioned in ReliableSite's NY location, with a secondary possibility of OVH Canada.

Q: Can we choose custom locations?
A: Afraid not.

    Correct. I always thought I would run that promotion again, and I'm sure one day I will. However, storage costs are at a bit of a standstill it's not going to be sustainable right now.

  • +1 great support too.

  • I just renewed my BF2018 deal for 10$/2 year. Only drawback that it is 2 GB disk space.

    @Outdoor said: Hi, any reseller offers?

    To be truthful, I'm not certain of how long it will be before I can offer another reseller promotion. It has been so incredibly successful that I struggle to keep stock of all three plans up at regular price.

  • @TheBrokenBee said:

    can not

  • Must be disabled now

  • My 2020 Small has been absolutley great for my needs. Crossbox is nice on mobile. Everything about it is very premium and no one has ever told me any of my emails went to spam. @jar runs a great service and I would recommend it to everyone.

    It isn't, but if Sucuri IDS thinks something is up it might block you for just a few minutes. I've worked with them to reduce instances of this, and will be removing this extra layer after I run out of stock of these promos.

    @trycatchthis said:

    A promo can only be upgraded to the Small, Medium, or Large plans listed on the front page of mxroute.com.

    So in other words. If you want lifetime you have to buy it immediately, no upgrade.

    Ah, I can't seem to get into the Accounts are but I can visit the homepage, I'll wait around for a bit, managed to get the $10/yr, is that recurring?

  • I recently renewed my previous BF special as well.
    Biggest bang for your buck of any mail service.

    Correct. It's a very bad service to purchase from if you're not absolutely sure that you want to, being on the fence has a very high correlation with being unhappy with the service. Eventually that'll be solved by UX, but until then I'd like to be honest about it so that no one feels misled.

    It is. Hell will have to freeze over twice for me to change the pricing on you.
