E-mail Hosting, Google Apps And Domain Locking
I've seen that a similar topic was posted earlier today, but I have more specific question. I'm looking for the e-mail only hosting. Requirements:
* dedicated IP
* SMTP + SSL (TLS)
* POP3/IMAP + SSL (TLS)
* up to 10 e-mail addresses from various domains
* forwarders (10 or more)
* 1-5 GB storage
* 10 GB bandwidth
* budget: the less the better, but I'll pay any reasonable amount of money if the service is good. Basically I need to find a provider at which I can keep my e-mail address once and for all. (I need a few e-mails only, a few forwarders, 100 MB storage and 1 GB bandwidth but I stated more so I don't run out on resources)
Is there any significant difference between SSL and TLS or is it all mainly in the proprietary vs open standard?
Is there any good reason why not to use Google Apps for this purpose? I've read that some people are concerned about privacy. Is there any pro that can comment on this (privacy issue) and remain objective?
One last (dumb?) question. What is the purpose of domain locking? Before AuthCodes were introduced I could see the reason for locking domains, but why would anyone want to lock the domain these days? (and yet I see majority still does) I mean, noone can initiate the transfer without providing AuthCode (can he?) and isn't that alone good enough to keep the domain safe? And if someone manages to gain control to the control panel to read AuthCode then he can easily unlock the domain so I see no additional layer of security.

Sending Mail From Server, While Mx Record Lives @ Google Apps
Scenario: I have a website, www.site.com, hosted on an ensim 4 box. The MX records for that zone point to google apps for mail services. Some of the alerting tools my client use are too stupid and don't support SSL or TLS, so they don't work with the pop/smtp services google apps uses. Can I setup this ensim box to utilize it's smtp server to send mail as user@site.com even though the mail is hosted by google apps? I guess it's kinda like e-mail spoofing.

Google Apps (Standard) And Two Different Domains: How Many Google Accounts Do I Need?
I hope some of you are using Google Apps and can help me to find an answer to the following question: I own two different and independent domain names (e.g. domain1.com and domain2.com). I'd like to use the Google Apps (Standard, free edition) with them to create two different and totally independent mailboxes (e.g. abc@domain1.com and xyz@domain2.com). But how many Google accounts I need to do this? Can I manage two (or more) independent and fully functional domains using one Google account? P.S. Help section contains descriptions of aliases for multiple domains, which are just pointers or shortcuts, but not a fully functional mailboxes, so this solution isn't something I'm looking for.

Google APPS And MX Settings
I want to shift my mail to Google Apps (standard version). Currently my DNS is pointed towards 1and1 dedicated servers (having problems with 1and1 mail services). Want to keep hosting with them but change the Email to Google apps. The Registrar of the domain is Netfirms, Inc. My current Settings for nameservers in Nefirms CP are: ns29.1and1.com ns30.1and1.com Google Instructed me to verify first by creating a CNAME, which I did in Netfirms control panel. 'googlexxxxx.mydomain.com' Pointing to 'google.com' DONE. Google gave me the MX records to enter in the Netfirms panel. ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM DONE. It's been more than 24 hours, neither MX updated not that CNAME lookup 'googlexxxxx.mydomain.com is propogating. What I am supposed to do here? I am waiting here for last 24 hours. I think that I have to set up these settings with my registrar (Netfirms) rather than it has to do something with 1and1? Any suggestions?

Google Apps / Email
attending to clients and their email inbox limits is occuring more frequently i'd prefer to minimize this chore, especially now i have some clients using IMAP it means the server fills up rapidly. google apps -just for handling email- seems attractive (6GB free) compared to increasing the monthly fee for extra server space which seems to be kind of expensive at my webhost. i would actually prefer to keep using the Webmail interfaces offered on the servers but i dont think my clients will change their bad habits of filling up their inbox, and lets not forget the increasing levels of SPAM. what are other people doing with email? are many people outsourcing it to google? i'd appreciate any other ideas or suggestions.

Google Apps Administration And Integration
Our company uses Google Apps for Domain (and we are very satisfied with it). Until recently, we were accessing our email via[url], but we then realized that it can be accessible via [url]by updating CNAME and MX records for our DNS zone. We have full access to WHM and cPanel. However, what we are trying to accomplish, if possible, that, when someone types [url], it does NOT redirect him/her to [url], but it remains on that very domain. For example, the address for GMail inbox in that case would be [url]

Google Apps, Email Login
I have a question regarding Google Apps when it comes to my email login. (Have searched extensively on Google App's support, but to no avail) I have created the email address kim @ kimstewart.ca through Google Apps and have set my MX records through HostGator. Propagation looks to now be complete and my emails are sending and I am able to receive. However, when I access my emails through the Google Apps dashboard, it takes me to this rather long and convoluted URL: [url] I was hoping to just be able to log into www.gmail.com and enter my email/password to be able to login. It this not possible? Or do I need to do some more tinkering from Google Apps in order to make this work? (I also have an iGoogle account I would like transfered over to my Google Apps email.)

Google Apps And Limits With Email Marketing
Not sure if it's the best forum to ask this, but it's related to hosting. I have a Windows hosting for our business and send a newsletter twice a week to almost 10,000 subscribers through the hosting mail server. I'd like to move to google apps so we can use the gmail interface. The problem is that I see Google apps has some limitations for sending mails (500 per user per day if I understood right, no matter if it's free or premier account). Does anyone send a newsletter through Google apps? What can I do?

Cpanel Catching Email Instead Of Google Apps
This is very perplexing, a few days ago our WHMCS stopped sending email to our google apps account. I soon found out that the server WHMCS is hosted on, that Cpanel is catching all email. However, we have the DNS set @ everydns.com including a SPF+MX records which worked before on our DirectAdmin server; Our email use to go fine to google apps however it seems like Cpanel is somehow acting as the MX server?

Have Hawkhost, Who Should Host DNS- Using Google Apps
I currently got signed up with Hawkhost and I love the interface so far. I bought all my domain names through Name Cheap. I wanted to see what you guys thought would be the best set up... I would like to use Google Apps to host my email and not hawkhost. I have two options: I can have hawkhost host my DNS or NameCheap. Do you guys think it would be better to let Namecheap host my DNS and just point the www record to my website? Just curious what your guys were on letting the webhost host the DNS and if there were any cons with that. I'm sure hawkhost is reliable, but I just don't like putting all my eggs in one basket and would prefer to have Google host my email...

How To Configure Google Apps For Sending And Recieving Emails?
I have been using google apps for my domain. However if I send a mail through my server using php mail() function. It doesn't show up in the google apps account sent mail folder. Further, if I CC or BCC the mail to my google apps email id, it turns up in the inbox (which is fine). Also at times I have noticed if my user tries to reply back to the send mail, instead of it coming in the google apps account, it turns up internally in the postfix interface on webmin. How can I configure gooogle apps so that it can take full control of my domain mails, including sending recieveing thrash etc etc. I already have google MX enteries in my Godaddy account.

Error In My Mail Server Hosted In Google
Why I am getting this even when mail server is hosted with Google? Need help WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.

Email From X Domain Is Labeled As SPAM By Hotmail And Google ( MX Records? )
One of my hosted domains have an email problem, every email account that is hosted on that site, is able to send and recieve email, but when sending to gmail or hotmail, it is delivered as SPAM. Someone told me it is because this domain doesnt have a MX record at the DNS zone.. What is the sintax for the MX record ? I have enterd A(ddress) and CNAME records, but never MX records.. can anyone tell me how to do it so I can send mail in the way it should be.

Recommendations For Hosting Blogs & Light Apps
I have been building a business around blogs and other social media items on mostly OSS technology - but unfortunately, my current reseller account is inadequate for what I need (especially with sites that query a DB) and unable unfortunately to upgrade to what I might need. I don't want to rip on them because they've provided me great service, but they're just not able to ramp up. My thought is there won't be any reseller to meet my needs after learning more info, so I'm going to make the leap up. I'm not going to go pound the pavement for hosting business; this is only really for my clients I serve as a agency/consultant/designer and my clients need and deserve more. I have been considering Mosso; but also weighing a dedicated box as it's around the same price and looking around here for the solutions people recommend for the past few hours. But since I sort of have a specialty application, I thought I'd ask for your recommendations. I want to say that I came here from another forum because my provider was affected by the Planet outage and the conversation and knowledge was great; you are a very smart community. I hadn't heard of this place beforehand but am glad I found it.

How Does Google App Engine Compare To Web Hosting Plans?
Google App Engine offers free quotas of 1 GB outbound traffic per day and 6.5 CPU-hours (based on a 1.2 GHz Intel x86 processor) per day. How do those free quotas compare to web hosting plans? For example, the traffic supported by the free quotas -- is that generally higher or less than the traffic supported by a typical $5/mo shared hosting account? Above the free quotas, Google charges $0.12 per GB outgoing traffic, $0.10 per GB incoming traffic, $0.10 per CPU-hour, $0.15 per GB storage per month. How do those numbers translate to normal web hosting plans? For example, the traffic that can be supported by a $40/mo VPS plan and $200/mo dedicated server plan, what would they cost on Google App Engine? I know it depends on a lot of factors, but if anyone has any ballpark estimates or experiences they're willing to share I'd really appreciate it. I'm trying to decide between App Engine and standard web hosting for a DB-backed Python site. The site will start small, but if the traffic grows I want to see which would be a better option long term.

Iptables Locking Up Server
I don't know why, but the server locks up daily at different times of the day. I have to reboot, flush iptables and it will happen again hours later. I don't know what to look for, what logs, etc. I'm confident it is something within iptables I have apf/bfd installed and dos deflate as well. How can I trace this? Nothing suspicious in /tmp either

Locking Users In Their Homedir
a way to lock users in their directory. E.g. if I host a domain mydomain.com, I need that the owner of this domain can access (read, write, execute via ssh) only the folder www/mydomain.com and nothing else. The solution does not to be a ultrasecure one. 1] adjusting privileges (e.g. deny execute on dirs for the "others") seems a sure way to make the server unfunctional 2] rbash - when I set shell to rbash for a test user, the user can no longer connect to server through winscp

[Spam Control] Locking Down A Server
I have a (dedicated) server out of control. It is managed by a 3rd party company who has never been able to get the spam and server load under control. Loads average over 5! and there is no activity in top other than sendmail and mailscanner (with Ensim). I turned off mailscanner and sendmail while I typed this and server load went to .08. I'm going to switch (dedicated) servers to a new provider (for reasons above plus a few others) which will include managed service from the server provider as well. There are only a few programs that need to run on this server. VBulletin is the main concern. I want to lock down all mail access. I want vbulletin to be able to send outgoing email as part of its administration and as part of its member notifications. I don't want ANYONE OUTSIDE THE SERVER to be able to send mail through this server. One idea I have had is to use DNS to assign all MX records of every domain on the machine to the free gmail service. I have one domain on this machine (and important domain) that gets thousands and thousands of spam. I assigned its' MX records to NO-IP.com who filters and forwards email to me. That has worked - but server load never budged.

Thttpd + Apache On Same Machine - Locking
I'm running apache to serve PHP files on (/home/www/) and thttpd to serve images on (/home/www/images) thttpd runs on a different IP than apache, apache only listens to its IP. After doing this, the number of apache processes decreased significantly, however performance has gone down, and apache is starting to crash very frequently (swapping). Could there be a file-locking issue? Do I have to separate the images folder from the www folder?

Creating A Real Mail Using A Domain Name
i have just asked about it a local hosting copany and they show unable to understand what i was asking in the beginning and to give me a proper reply when they finally did. What i want is to create several mail accounts using my domain names (several mail accounts for each domain name using it) The usual answer is to use mail forwarding that every registrar offer for free when you register a domain name with them. So you get a free mail account amail@gmail.com domain name adomain.com and you create a forwarding such as amail@adomain.com to amail@gmail.com then you give amail@adomain.com so they can write to you using that fake mail, the message will bounce in your registrar and will send it to amail@gmail.com but what if i want a real amail@adomain.com mail because i want to write replies from that address. With mail forwarding as long as i know you can receive mail using the fake mail forwarding address but as mail is not a real one you then are forced to reply from the real account behing the forwarding one amail@gmail.com Can i do that, is that a service included in hosting plans or somewhere. Or am i wrong and its simpler than that.

Different E-mail/Web Server But Same Domain Name
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I've been trying to get this figured out for the past week and have not had any success. Here is my problem, I have one domain name, I have the Web services provided on one server, and I need my e-mail provided on a different server for the same domain. I can't seem to figure out how to get my e-mail set up that is on a different server. I really need to get my e-mail going because it's very important. I think this has something to do with updating the MX records and some other stuff but I have no idea how to do it through my registrars control panel that they have. I registered it through Go Daddy.

2 Email Addresses On The Same Domain But Using Different Mail Servers
I'm trying to see if it's possible to have 2 email addresses on the same domain (e.g. email1@domain.com and email2@domain.com) but are handled by 2 different email servers (e.g. mail.domain1.com and mail.domain2.com)? To put it into context, I have a domain hosted on my dedicated server and a couple of email accounts set up on it. I also have another mail account set up on a different server but with the same domain. I was wondering if maybe something could be done with the DNS to allow the 'external' mail account to be handled by the other server?

E-mail From Addon Domain Flagged As Junk
I have an addon domain running on my webhosting along side my primary account. I am mostly using the Thunderbird client to send e-mails. 80% of the time when I send a mail out from "name@addondomain.com" hotmail, gmail, yahoo all see it as spam! What's ironic is I receive more darn adult e-mails in my free accounts than anything else, and yet it's thinking the occasional mass personal message is SPAM? So these guys that flood my inbox daily must know something I don't? Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? Or do I need to change a hosting package setting, should I use different software such as a php mailing list?
