As of tonight we’ve pushed V1 of our custom control panel. Don’t get too excited, “custom control panel” is a bit of a marketing term. It’s accurate depending on how you like to interpret things.
Anyway, it’s a cPanel theme finally customized properly. Still a lot more to do. Finalizing the customizations to ensure that everything not MXroute related or relevant is removed, streamlining processes through the existing UX, and then a redesign. By the end of it, I’ll be able to stop advertising cPanel just to prevent chargebacks
Is the server IP hidden in the headers? Because I tried GMAIL’s SMTP and those fucks put the main server IP in the headers. Was going to use their free SMTP for just simple user registrations on my new forum, which is behind cloudflare.
I then tried hotmail’s and yahoo’s. Yahoo hid the IP. But yahoo’s delay is terrible (2-4 minutes), and for hotmail, that was a lie – didn’t try their smtp yet cause I raged.
I have a few clients who need email services, lets say I purchase a plan at mxroute, then added all the domains to my plan, will my clients have the ability to login and check their webmail for their domain?
You’re about to get a new client buddy… Also, is it possible to set up emails with WordPress? I have a vps running webuzo, I’ll need a way to link mxroute to each WordPress site… any tips on that?
I’d create an email address for each site, then use a plug-in like WP-SMTP (may be more updated ones like it) and configure the email server/account in it’s settings. The SMTP server will be listed in the email you get after signing up.
Great, just signed up… 1 more thing. 1 of my clients sends out a newsletter every week, there is about 6000 recipients in her list. Would I be breaching any terms with regards to a list this large and so frequent?
MailChannels will likely catch it and halt it if it’s sent without enough delay. The way they work is they learn your sending patterns (per domain) and they block things that quickly ramp up without being part of a normal pattern. So, for example, the first week I might do a strong delay and have it send over the course of 24h. Maybe you take a couple hours off each time until you’re down to something around 6-12 hours.
Now the reason I say stop at around 6-12 hours delay on it is because you can increase the probability of the newsletter being seen as spam merely due to the content and frequency it hits the same filter at Google (which, let’s face it, is almost always most of the recipients). Much like MailChannels, Google doesn’t like large bursts at once either. So you end up doing yourself and the recipients a favor by introducing a reasonable delay.
Personally, I LOVE this for sending newsletters in an effective way:
The only way to do that will be through mailing list software. You’ll really appreciate the time investment into a good mailing list manager application though. We have mailman with cPanel but, to be frank, it’s pretty archaic.
Granted, I suppose another way to do it is just manually dividing the recipients into batches and processing the batches by hand. That’d probably drive anyone insane though.
Damn totally forgot about this discount and the BlackFriday offers that were still going back in Feb. Had meant to take advantage of the 100GB option.
Was just reminded this evening, when my wife asked me what would happen with her email account & my self hosted email server when I died. (Coz she knows ZIP about anything server related)
Hopefully something similar will be available this BlackFriday.
divorce might come before that.
