Some small providers are completely transparent about how small they are and share the information about the company. See, for example Purelymail https://purelymail.com/about .
Edit/note: To be clear, the point I tried to make has nothing to do with the location of the provider but about the lack or limited information about the company.
Why is that? Are you saying it's something to do with the US state of Florida itself, or something more general about the lack of company info on the website?
Edit: saw your edit, got it!
What I meant was that before I make the decision to move email providers I would like to see more information about the company (the usual stuff. I suppose I could ask directly but being able to find that information on the website would be nice.
I really doubt the US government is interested in my email and if they are, I'm sure they can read it other ways.
I don’t live in the US, I don’t follow US politics and I have literally no idea about what's going on in Florida.
So after about 6 months of dealing with spam, I went back to Gmail. It's a minor ordeal to move email providers. I'd be scared to move providers without being able to see how well their spam filter works.
As an aside, that would be a nice capability (no idea if it's possible): a way to have your email mirrored to another service to test it out.
Your mail service looks cool though! If I hadn't already been burned I would be more inclined to give it try.
Also we use Bayesian filtering, rbls, dbls, rate checks, the whole 9 yards. We haven't had much complaint about receiving spam. Ik you said you've been burned but I'd love for you to give us a shot so I can see what happens and possibly improve.
If I get up the courage to try again, yours will be my first choice :)
If you do end up trying it, feel free to shoot me an email either at contact@mymangomail.com or my personal, steve@mymangomail.com
I have never moved from Gmail (yet) but it must be sure difficult if you have a large mailbox.
They have strict rates on their API or IMAP so it takes time and a good software that accounts for the errors.
Didn't you have this experience
One minor bit: the font sizing on some of the headlines on the front page are almost the size of my laptop screen. I know it's a design choice, but it's actually really jarring as I'm going through - it takes me a second to piece together what each section is actually trying to showcase.
Not saying make it much smaller, but maybe a slight adjustment would be helpful.
However, we do have all of the following:
- subdomain addressing - plus addressing - aliases
Can you tell me what you use case for catch-all is? I'm open to rethinking it.
- Personal: Plus addressing doesn't work with many services but you sometimes want a single-use e-mail address to purchase something from a website and still have the receipt.
In my experience, this is an exaggeration of the truth. I've been using catch-all addresses for something like 15 years. And yes, there are times when I'll get dozens of spam over the course of a day sent to random letters. But that's a pretty rare occurrence.
I default to allowing any <string>@<mydomain.tld>, and then uses aliases to block offenders. My <string> is often a domain name where I'm using the email address, which means I know who either willingly spams me, sells my email address, or otherwise allows my email address to be leaked. At any rate, I'll throw addresses used for spam onto a disabled account as an alias, resulting in bounces.
The biggest advantage here over aliases is that I've used hundreds of aliases, but didn't have to manually track and add each and every one to my email address. Since most of the time, my email is not used for spam, I only have to manually add the bad ones.
> You don't receive it because the system is constantly filtering it.
Who is "You" in this statement, and what "system" is filtering it?
The problem seems to be that while many domains don’t see this behavior, it seems random which ones do. Having the catchall in place when someone finally does target your domain like this seals the deal: Every one of the 16,000 recipient addresses that were accepted were just added to a list of working email addresses to be sold to spammers for the next 15 years. One hour to ruin your domain, and maybe it never happens to you, or maybe it happens to you tomorrow.
I’ve seen it go down like this at least a few hundred times in the last decade. Safe to say I’ve managed email for a few domains during that time. Enough to say it doesn’t happen to most people, but the ones it happens to usually end up having to disable their catchall or buy a new domain.
As an admin of shared mail servers you often have to base protections and actions on the worst of events, as those are the ones that threaten your infrastructure.
Do you use another provider or do you just accept the fact that it's gonna be one of your main costs ?
For 1.50 it's going to cost 57.5 cents, which is 38%.
How does this work? Do you just limit what gets shown to me, say I get 250 emails sent to me in a day, I can only view 200 of them, or do you bounce the extra 50?
I thought the slogan was pay for the "data you use" in which case I'd expect something like no limits on how many in/out per day but e.g. first 1GB in/out is free and $0.10/GB after that with no limits as long as you pay. Or something like that.
As for managing spammers, just require some sort of ID verification? Or set the price point high enough that spammers wouldn't be interested?
$1.50/month for personal or $16/month for business is insanely cheap, I pay a lot more than that to Google. If you're too inexpensive, spammers will be attracted to your pricing.
Real businesses would have no problem paying upwards of $100/month, to be honest.
I don't see any mention of address forwarding on the website, is this a supported use case?
