mxroute.com - A new inexpensive email hosting - Page 15

I can see why some concern was raised by emebrs. If you were not one of the users with access to a beta account, you might think erroneously that MXroute is relatively new, it was in beta, and now it's closing

Good call. That it could read that way completely missed me.

That clarifies your message. Good work jarland!

I still find it confusing but I can only assume that whatever kind of account I have will continue.

Even though mxroute.org has been shut down, it still shows as an active service in the Account Overview of my admin control panel.

That's beta for you - that's Jarland for you.

Thanks. Only 20 users? I expected a bigger turnout.

Yeah the interest seemed fairly low. Oh well...."Do one thing and do it well" is never a bad philosophy

Just a heads up because I know a lot of you guys here use the service. Today we identified a bug in our DNS cluster causing us to fall back to our registrar's DNS while we rebuilt the cluster. At some point the registrar (name.com) simply began returning no value for the DNS entries for mxroute.com. This is rather unfortunate, and a fix is in place that is subject to DNS propagation. An e-mail will be going out about this afterward.

Please improve your spam filtering.

It is awful and letting obvious spam through.

I have a few questions about mxroute, if anyone can answer them:

1. Does it support two-factor-authentication? If not, is there any ETA?

2. How many aliases can we get in our own domain?

3. Is there a free trial?

4. To people who've been using mxroute, do you think this works well for a main e-mail provider?

5. Do you guys know anything like this based in Europe?

Why this is one of my favorite features, you get to program your own spam filter, just move it to the Spam folder. If one does not exist, it will be created on the nightly cron

Do those emails have to be in the Spam folder permanently, or can they be deleted after a short period of time? Also, does the spam filter do SPF and DKIM checks?

I've stepped up the clearing of these folders to nightly as well. They were on a weekly cron that has been skipped one too many times. This is a process that I am constantly tweaking on the back end.

Two factor authentication is not yet supported. I do not see this coming reasonably soon as we are following the web hosting business/provisioning model which has multiple authentication systems and I would not be satisfied with two factor authentication with 2 separate keys to only 2 out of 3 authentication systems. Certainly I would like to provide it in the future, it just isn't a priority for that reason, it wouldn't be secure enough to justify the function.

You can create all of the aliases that you want, however you cannot send from them. Enabling this ability on a shared server would require either a strict selection box or enabling you to type in the address. That box would at least need to be compared against your list of aliases and locked to your domain, as sending from other domains on the server would otherwise be possible while passing SPF checks. This is also not something I see us overcoming anytime soon.
