How is Zoho one working out for you?
We got a 1 year all access credit last year but could not use all the features since we did not have the right team size/smes with us.
Well its great as my team is distributed even before COVID and They provide almost everything with Zoho One. My one years software licensing budget can pay about 7 to 8 years of Zoho one subscription. And as everything is in "cloud" I save more headache and stress managing backup's and things. Now I just export my data every month to an b2 cloud account so far I have been with zoho for 2 years everything is working out great so the following are product I use with zoho
Can MxRoute customers see the MTA logs for their inbound and outbound messages?
Can MxRoute customers have direct ssh command line access (as opposed to grabbing their mail via IMAP from a terminal elsewhere than MxRoute)? [Sometimes it's fun to do base64 conversions by hand, and hterm can display images right in the terminal. ]

Yes

@sanvit! That's amazing! I wasn't expecting either answer to be yes. I gotta go read @Jarland's site.
Where is the LES exclusive deal? Oh! It's with @Abdullah! Hey @Abdullah, if I sign up for MxRoute through you do I get all the same stuff as signing up directly?
@Not_Oles said: Can MxRoute customers see the MTA logs for their inbound and outbound messages?
Yes for inbound, not effectively for outbound. You can only see it going out to the filters. It's another project I need to work on, combining the data into one place so customers can view it.
That said, no one has ever come to me and asked for outbound logs to find that we failed a delivery and a bounce, because our infrastructure works so well that the only reason you shouldn't get an error back in your inbox if it couldn't be delivered is that you set the wrong From header so the bounce went somewhere else. So almost 100% of customers who think they need to see outbound logs and come to me asking "Why did they say they didn't get this email" has resulted in me replying "They did receive it, here's proof." I'm sure there's edge cases but there's probably 100,000 messages going through before one appears.
That's why the project is a bit low priority because it's not going to shock anyone to find that their emails are always delivered except in cases where they already knew they weren't. I suspect the work will go largely ignored once I finish it and customers grow accustomed to the results they see in it. They'll probably start defaulting to telling their recipients to troubleshoot their own issues
@Not_Oles said: Can MxRoute customers have direct ssh command line access
If you ask me personally and nicely, and only up until we eventually upgrade to an infrastructure that no longer accommodates this. That said, the emails are going to be compressed so you probably won't be able to read them as files without decompressing first.
@Iroshan464 said: Is there a a way to use a catch all emails with a domain and reply with the alias, the mail received?
That is an email client feature. To the best of my knowledge none of the email clients we provide (Crossbox, Roundcube, Rainloop) immediately support this as a built-in feature. Though you're obviously welcome to use your own software for reading/sending your email (Outlook, Thunderbird, any webmail client you want to install on your server, etc).
Do everything as though everyone you’ll ever know is watching.
@Not_Oles said: So, how about using MxRoute as a relay, kinda like Mailgun, SendGrid, and MailJet?
Entirely possible. The major differences are:
We don't offer software that manages the tracking of these for you like those services do at this time. Though third party software should be sufficient (Sendy, Mailtrain, etc).
Instead of authenticating with a username that isn't an actual email address, you'll authenticate with one that is (an email address created in DirectAdmin). That doesn't force the From header to match it, but it does become the "X-Auth-User" header so that I can track who sent spam when I get complaints.

I don't, but there might be a code base out there somewhere to present an API for an SMTP back-end. Seems like someone would have made something like that at some point. I'm sure I will eventually though.
Do everything as though everyone you’ll ever know is watching.
This makes sense in terms of long-term service sustainability (saying this as a lifetime package user).
I've learned a valuable lesson on certain thresholds, that might be beneficial for others:
Over 100GB purchased means significantly increased chance of using purchased space. Example: Someone purchasing 20GB is more likely to use less than 5GB, where someone purchasing over 100GB is more likely to use 100GB. This means you can oversell more 20GB than you can 100GB, breaking the idea that they're equivalent in scale and therefore can be relative in price.
A $5/year customer is significantly more likely to make repeat support requests than a $10/year customer. These can severely diminish your ability to scale out your support strategy with increased overhead but not enough revenue to hire.
Knowledge and experience, good business planning. All sounds quite reasonable and logical IMO.
Keep up the good work.
Really good service. Would recommend it.

Aye, onboarding path is something I'm working on. When you signed up the sole onboarding path was the "Important Account Information" email after signup. It still is a bit, people won't return right now having forgotten that and know how to get started again. Having two workflows (cPanel and DirectAdmin) doesn't help either, working on that right now too.

Someone has to fight for everyone that isn't Google.

Been using the service for over a year now, and can recommend it.
Pricing is quite affordable, but regardless of that - service is good, reliable. Not "good for the (relatively low) price", but "good - period".
Would go as far as to say that MXroute sets an example of how email service should be run:
not tolerating any kind of spam from their own customers, at the cost of loosing their business.
providing reliable service where your sent emails get delivered as reliably as it is reasonably possible (thanks to most services not suppressing spamers strictly enough, spam filters and rules do get crazily strict and not one email provider can honestly claim to offer 100% deliverability)
good technical support - yes, no hand holding, as they explain when you sign up for the service, but within reasonable requests, they are very knowledgeable and can help (in my experience, literally every problem I had was not related to a problem with MXroute, but they did help pinpoint it and resolve it).
The business seems to be run by decent, normal people, looking to offer good service, not just make big bucks, at least from what I could tell. It doesn't mean th> @havoc said:

Planning to make another one for DirectAdmin (I think it's a bit less idiot friendly than cPanel), when I find the time. Especially when/if my account gets moved to DirectAdmin.

You find cPanel easier? Even though I've used cPanel for years, I find DA easier to navigate and get most stuff done. (Granted cPanel still has some more features, but also more weirdness, like the requirement to create subdomains for every domain you add.)

With hosting panels in general? I prefer cPanel. My DirectAdmin thoughts/experience.
For MXroute? It could be just a habbit, since I only worked with DirectAdmin to configure emails for a friend (it is set and forget, but I did configure more emails on my, cPanel MXroute account).
Well y first experience with them is using DA, and it is simply as copy and paste.. 10/10 for easyness..

You might hold out for the new frontend. While it's replacing WHMCS first and then DA will start bleeding into it until you no longer need to leave the panel, it looks like it's happening pretty fast.

It is my understanding that you are making sure that your control panel works securely and stably, before implementing it.
Remember you mentioned developing it some time ago (at, or even before the cPanel pricing shitstorm).
And, at least in my experience, last 10% of development can often take even more time than the first 90%.
So, I expected (guessed) that I'm more likely to be first moved to DirectAdmin, before being moved to your custom control panel (it's not my preferred option, but I suppose it will be necessary in order to cut the costs). If it turns out I was too pesimistic, great.
@LeonDynamic said: @jarland noticed on Twitter potentially looking to move away from cPanel onto DA. Do you have an ETA?
It’s hard because the event itself is dynamic. I’m on day 3 of backing up cpanel accounts on 3 servers without even including their emails in the backups.
The normal backups are jetbackup incremental and DA conversion needs a regular cpanel backup. Tough to plan ahead with that unpredictable workload.

I have a very small volume of both email received and sent, as it’s just for personal use. I don’t ever plan to use the actual webmail interface, I’d only forward. Is that not a recommended use of your service?
