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?
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.
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.)
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?
I want to use Gmail to host my email. I have already confirmed my domain and now I can successfully send emails via my domain.
However in order to receive emails I need to add/update the MX records on my server. I did that (I think) but now, 24h later, the records don't seem to be updated yet.
For instance intodns.com still shows that there is only one MX record: [URL] ....
This is my setup where you can clearly see the MX records required by Google:
I changed the TTL to some minutes but still the changes don't seem to be propagated.
The screenshots are taken from "Website & Domains" -> my domain -> DNS - that should be the right thing to change, correct?
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.
What can be disabled (Mail related) if the only domains on the server use google apps "gmail" for mail? I only really need roots mail. Anyone tried this yet, I figured I asked before I use trial and error.
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?
I'm using cpanel and google apps. I made mail in google apps mail@mydomain.com
I set up MX entries. When I sending mail from e.g. yahoo or hotmail to mail@mydomain.com I can receive it. But when I'm sending mail from php contact skript which is located at my site I cannot receive mail, like it doesn't exist. why?
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...
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]
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.
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.
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 was wondering if VPS would be able to handle my double opt-in email marketing website?
If yes then what would be cheapest cost i.e provider that some of you would recommend based on previous experience and the best configuration that I need to go with?
I am looking at sending about 10,000 emails per hour with the list size about 50,000 emails.
I am not to keen with going dedicated due to not being tech savy to manage a full dedi server.
an email auto responder/email marketing service to my website owners. I will install it on a new domain and offer it as a side service to help market their websites.
I found one I think is good: [url] Here is what I want, beyond the standard features:
1. ability to bill users monthly with authorize.net
2. ability for user to import pre-created follow up campaigns (so I can provide some value with default marketing campaigns they can be up and running with)
Is there any other services that you reccomeend or know of, or ANY reviewing sites?
There are Dozens of these scripts available and I don't want to make the wrong move here,
My company wants to install an email marketing software that all our clients can use.
Unfortunately our own servers are windows based and do not support php and mysql which are needed for the email system. I would like some recommendations on good hosts where we can host the system and also allow a high volume of email to be sent every now and then by our clients who would be using the system.
how other people with large subscribers’ database (over 500K subscribers) manage their e-mail marketing needs.
We do have a number of different everyday newsletters and occasionally send surveys to customers (once in a couple of months). I do like the functionality and features that different e-mail marketing providers offer with their packages like Constant Contact, Icontact, etc.
However, considering the number of subscribers their services cost too high in our situation. Maybe there is a standalone software product which we can license and install to our servers and manage in house instead of buying a hosted application?
Quick update: I just found [url]. Does anyone has any experience working with them?
I currently manage over 1 million optin subscribers in outsourced email marketing solutions such as aweber or getresponse.
I'm looking to grow to a dedicated server solution, but I know is not as easy as just put the server and the software and just send the emails.
I know there are HUGE issues with the ISPs, complaint rates, bounces, deliverability, etc...
I'm looking if there is any company that specialized in providing management or any kind of solution to mantain a dedicated server for just sending emails (not spam) and solve all the issues to have a smooth email marketing server.
We are custom web development company and have created a email marketing software similar to constantcontact.com .. We need a dedicated server to host this application that will allow us to send mass emails for our clients. I have figured out that not every hosting company allow that..
my main client wants to rehash his database. Now this is a 1.5m strong list. All legitimately collected with time/IP stamp, privacy policy, etc. These clients are from the online gambling industry (legally licensed).
The problem is many of these users subscribed to our services up to 4 years ago (not all are that old, but some are), and they haven't heard from us for up to 2 years (again, some heard from us more recently).
Anyway, I've never deal with that number of emails and potential bounces. Obviously, the first round of emailing will have a large number of bounces, but that will quickly subside.
So, can you guys point me to a quality dedicated server, with at least 4 IPs (hopefully 10) and that can handle this type of activy? I'll be glad to sign up under an affiliate link if I can get a good answer.
