Just curious if there is any plan to offer support for JMAP anytime in the near-ish future?

Planning where to jump as I try to move away from Google's stranglehold on my life

My MxRoute account goes back 5 years. I think I am or was on the "old" software. I got the email today about the DirectAdmin transition. I understand there is good reason for a transition and it all sounds great, but I'm not sure what to do.

Will anything previously set up on the old software be moved over for us into the new stack? If not, is there a doc on exactly what I need to do to change settings or to migrate and make the transition? Do I need to change any DNS values at my server or registrar?

Thank you

Acadia has been down for us for about a day, but the status page reports it is healthy.

Anyone else having issues?

Just got mxroute!

Trying to setup the branding part. Using mail.mydomain.com and logging in with postmaster but I can’t seem to find the branding settings.

Also having a problem with webmail.mydomain.com doesn't let me log in "We couldn't find your MXroute server".

Set my DNS settings quickly didn’t hit a snag till those parts.

Is anyone else using the MXRoute Chrome plugin to create aliases? I've noticed that while alias generation works flawlessly, deleting an alias doesn't seem to do anything. (The workaround is going to the MxRoute panel... I know... but with the extension you save some precious seconds of your life)

u/mxroute could you please check it? Thanks!

I know that is bad to think about it, but I have really important emails to manage for my clients, and I wish to know what’s happens if tomorrow the founder dies? who will take the business and continue running it?

If you installed webmail.mxroute.com as a progressive web app on your mobile device, you may benefit from force closing the app and reopening it. The "Reconnecting" problem is solved, finally.

While we're still planning native mobile apps, for now this webmail as a PWA is kind of a big deal to me. Right now, this is the only way I check my mail on my phone. I want it to be flawless. At least in my Samsung phone, it's pretty damn close now.

If you've never used a progressive web app before and this makes no sense to you, PWAs can be installed on mobile devices in a way that operates a lot like a native app, while being "just a website." Google "how to install PWA on iOS/Android" if you're unclear on how to make use of it.

Namecheap apparently doesn’t know they can have more then one data center and been without email for a whole business day.
Obviously I’m not gonna stick around there to find out if they learned that lesson… if I have a PST file is there a way I can upload that to import emails? Or maybe I can get a mbox file out of them? Does MXRoute have a email import feature? I got 2 months left of them so gotta make the move next few weeks at this point. Importing it isn’t that important to me because changing the server settings shouldn’t cause me to lose emails but have a bit of anxiety with the move

I have 2 separate tickets with the first being 2 days old. In the past everything has been answered at least within 24 hrs. Is support down or just behind?

Okay, maybe not YOURS. But just about every contact form these days takes information like this:

- Name
- Email address
- Message

Some contact forms reply like this:

"Hi, name. We received your message. Your message was:"

Even among the ones that don't, they'll still often say:

"Hi name, we received your message."

Now imagine someone inputs this:

Name: Free crypto at cryptoscam.xyz
Email address: randomvictim@gmail.com

So you sent randomvictim@gmail.com this message:

"Hi Free crypto at crytoscam.xyz, we received your message."

This is how your contact form is exploited to send spam, from you, to anyone that your malicious website visitor desires. And you wonder why your emails land in spam folders. This is why.

The fix is simple: NEVER, under ANY circumstances (not even with a captcha), should you EVER send ANY string input by a website visitor to an email address entered by the website visitor. And if you only email them to yourself, your contact form needs to be sending to your MXroute-hosted address, not sent to or forwarded to any major email provider that you need inbox delivery with. Because no one cares about the intention of your contact form, if you send spam messages to major email providers you are the cause of reputation issues.

One key thing about MXroute: We're looking out for this. We will call you out on it. We know how to tell that it's happening, and we'll test your contact form ourselves to verify it. Then we'll block your outbound email until you fix it. Because your reputation matters, and so does everyone else's.

In the process of moving lots of domains and accounts over. Everything is great so far.

I have one domain that I only use for tagged emails in the format of

random_abc@domain.com or random-abc@domain.com

I have hundreds of these email address (maybe thousands?) Does MXroute support this format and if so how? Or do I need to setup a catchall mailbox?

What level do people have the automatic spam filter down to? The recommended setting is 15. I currently have mine set to 11 but I just changed it a bit ago so no experience at this setting yet. At 12 we did not notice any missing legitimate emails.

Are people using 3rd party spam and phishing filters and if so what are you using?

About a year ago we migrated our in-house email servers over to MXroute where we have had zero problems. Now I want to remove the last email server in our network, an outbound-only server that only relays email from 2 of our web sites and sends it along to the recipients' server. I want to remove that server and shift the sending of the site emails over to MXroute, who is already hosting their domain's emails. Each site already has MX, SPF, and DKIM records in DNS and they will be sending email using "From:" addresses in their domains, and they are whitelisted. Both sites are running on very "old but bulletproof" script code which lacks many standardized features. Doing this made me realize I am clueless (my normal state) on the authentication required for them to send thru MXroute; and either I blanked out in that section or just missed the issue in the MX docs.

Is generic Auth/POP sufficient authentication for these sites to send via MXroute SMTP? One site has that capability already, the other I'd have to code in for them but its feasible. If Auth/POP is not accepted what other authentication is available?

Hi, I recently discovered mxroute while searching for alternatives for our corporate mail hosting. I've been playing around with it during the weekend and so far I like it quite a lot!

I am confused about the mirriad of webmail interfaces that it offers though.

First I saw mxrouting.net/webmail which a Roundcube client. I set it up with dns aliases and it works fine. However, it's not something I would present as an alternative for the current company webmail. Besides, users expect at least a calendar too, not just email.

I've been considering installing our own webmail alternatives like Nextcloud or SoGo, but then I found mail.mxlogin.com and webmail.mxroute.com in the configuration dashboard.

webmail.mxroute.com seems to be a very decent mail and calendar interface. Quite basic design, but I like it and it seems to work fine.

mail.mxlogin.com on the other hand offers a ton of clients to chose from, including Nextcloud and Roundcube. Is this a full nextcloud setup with different webmail clients to choose from?

While it's nice having Nextcloud already installed and connected to mxroute, I'm confused about if this is really something that mxroute offers and supports. Does it include admin access?

Is mxroute actively maintaining all these alternatives or are they going to be abandoned and replaced in the future?

So far, I'm leaning towards webmail.mxroute.com as it covers the basic requirements and it's not overloaded with options like nextcloud. One thing I miss here though, is a preconfigured identity and signature. Ideally a system wide default signature...

Also, is there a way to disable the nextcloud at mxlogin.com to avoid users finding and access it it by mistake?

I really don't like complaining, but I've had a support ticket open for over a month. It was escalated but there hasn't been any updates. I just want to make sure it didn't get lost.
