Thanks. The free tier looks good. The only issue I have is I use a different alias for every account so I think I'd run out with only 25.

By default it sets up a wild card local-part so any and all email sent to your domain will be forwarded. So you don't have to predefine aliases for every online account/service that use.

What the 25 aliases allotted in the free tier allows you to do is have 25 different domains.

Hi! I'm ImprovMX's founder. You are correct that you'd reach the limit of 5 free alias in your case. Upgrading to the monthly plan at 9$ would allow you to have up to 100 aliases.

Happy to answer any questions that you might need!

TLS please?

What about TLS? We support it on both standard SMTP connections and for sending emails.

That got me thinking. I tested again on CheckTLS.com and if you use the port 465 and direct TLS, everything is fine. If you use port 587 and use STARTTLS, it's all good too.

Our decision was to not use STARTTLS for port 25, but that's maybe not a good idea and we should allow it back: this would make both services happier ;)

In a nutshell: TLS via 465 works correctly, and STARTTLS via 587 too.

Don't hesitate if you want to weight on this, happy to discuss this further!

Thanks for deciding to support STARTTLS on port 25 as well, and for updating your certificates!

You are welcome. Seeing that MXToolbox was testing STARTTLS on port 25, and a few other indicators made us decide to enable it :)

Good but no TLS. I don't know how I feel about this...
