Mxroute - How to use?

Have a very noob question regarding MXroute services.
Can we use Mxroute services only for sending out website emails through SMTP.
If a have a domain (abc.com) configured with Zoho email, can I use mxroute SMTP to send out website transactional emails?
Comments
Yes, but max 300 emails/h. And if you use more please change email provider to AWS SES.
Also remember to edit SPF record.
Yea, MXroute documentation and self-support is insanely bad. You must know what to do, otherwise, you are in a lot of problem. And this is not a joke.
If your using sendmail on your server I can tell you how to do it.
If your using something else I can not be of any help.
literally, the config was sent to your mail.
Yes I am having a hard time figuring out how and where to enter the DNS.
I have a domain (abc.com) hosted on a DA server (server1).
Current MX record of the domain
abc.com. 3600 MX 10 mx.zoho.in.
abc.com. 3600 MX 20 mx2.zoho.in.
abc.com. 3600 MX 50 mx3.zoho.in.
Now I have created the same domain abc.com in Mxroute panel (https://tuesday.mxrouting.net/)
Where should I use the Mxroute MX records which I received on email?
tuesday.mxrouting.net (Priority 10)
tuesday-relay.mxrouting.net (Priority 20)
You need to create the MX records in DNS for abc.com.
Edit: Sorry, didn't read this properly. If you don't want to receive email into MXRoute, ignore them.
For outbound only you do not create mx dns records for your mxroute server. You add
include:mxlogin.com
to your spf dns record and speaking sendmail you add a smarthost relay to your web server's outbound email server with an authinfo file containing the login info of your account.Thanks, this is all the information I wanted and was able to setup a sending only domain in a minute. Mxroute should mention the keywords "sending/receiving domain" in the welcome email for new users.
You'd better watch those transactional emails closely (even if you're limited to 300 / hour), because @jar is a no-nonsense guy
Truthfully I'm having trouble getting people to read the email already 😂
We're not really a send only service but you're welcome to use it that way.
If you feel that there are any documentation articles that are missing which might be vital to your success, I would like to know. Most often all I get are "You don't have a DNS article for X provider."
Yes, I know jar's reputation here on LET, but these will be simple woocommerce order/enquiry type emails, and will be careful and cautious
@jar has a colourful reputation in other places too (inclu some FB group).
Someone had posted the MXRoute BF offer in one such group, and two types of responses arose: "Yay" and "MXRoute? Heck no"
:-)
And you'd think that would result in mixed or low business but it's actually having the exact desired impact. Marketers make up less than 1% of registrations and chargebacks are even lower. The most problematic users are scared to death of signing up, I just have to wave my arms like madman every now and then to perpetuate the reputation.
True that.
Me being selfish, I like the fact how @jar knowingly or unknowingly keeps certain type of users away from Mxroute. I prefer him having less users instead of having too many customers who needs to be spoon-fed about how email works. At least that way, there'll be less chances of a 'new kid on the block' messing around with their email delivery rate and reputation. And he'll have more time maintaining and improving his current infrastructure.
If it's up to me, I would add a basic quiz about 'How Email Works' on Mxroute's order page. People will have to pass that quiz and only then they'll be able place the order. Like a captcha but a hardcore one.
But, I guess he has to pay the bills, pay his staff, worry about new developments and projects and he needs $$$$ for all those things. More customers more $$$$.
It's a difficult thing to balance. Glad I am not in his position.
I disagree, mxroute docs have improved a lot, however, if you don't know basics of mail services , then its not for you.
I have a 2GB plan, very satisfied, and would like to get the 10GB bf deal to raise domain limits, to future proof.
Is it possible to have limits raised (# of domains, etc) and avoid migration, and other changes of settings? Thanks!!!
10GB isn't enough.
You need:
You can't avoid migration.
Think this way: you live in a one-bedroom apartment and you want to live in a big house, you can't avoid moving.
I get your analogy. But I can raise limits for my hosting customers in place, no changes needed. That's why I asked.
Thanks for the reply and I'll keep my 2GB.
You can always upgrade to the front page plans, and just ticket me if the upgrade option is missing. Promos however can't be upgraded to and are typically very calculated in which servers they roll out to. I try to keep promos to 10% of a server.
@jar Honest question, when people here say frontpage, is it LEB or the forum index? Been reading the term many times on the bF related threads.
I just mean the plans on the front page of mxroute.com.
Never go to LEB.
