Ziply has no restrictions on individuals at home getting business accounts, Rich.
Another option is get a cheap virtual server on AWS and instead of paying a mail provider, setup a mailserver there. Or on Rapidspace or any other other cloud providers. Or you can get a bit more creative. I have a friend who has a Comcast Xfinity residential account with a Microsoft Exchange server in their house (a leftover from a business they used to own) that they keep going for a new home business they started. They have it setup on a non-standard port for accepting incoming email and outbound relaying of mail through me. They have a free account setup with a dynamic DNS provider and their router is DD-WRT and keeps the dynamic DNS provider apprised of their current IP. My mailserver accepts mail for their domain then routes it to their mailserver's nonstandard port, their mailserver routes outbound mail to my server which relays it out. That way all the antispam stuff is setup and happy and they get to run their own mailserver on a residential account. You of all people Rich should know that there is no way to use technology to block something that someone else can use technology to get around. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f4db8a43-0a38-423e-a9d1-aa1c5d989cf0 Ted -----Original Message----- From: PLUG <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rich Shepard Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2023 8:20 AM To: Portland Linux/Unix Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [PLUG] email services supporting IMAP On Sat, 18 Nov 2023, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > Or, you can do what I do and get a static IP and run your own mail server. Ted, FWIW, unless Ziply changed their policy only business domains can be assigned a static IP address (for $10/month); they don't support static IP addresses for personal domains. Rich
