Hello!
Short:
I'm looking for advice for a reputable organization that can serve as a
net-facing MX for my very small mail server. Feel free to email me
off-list with contacts or advice.
Long:
I'm a sysadmin who's self-hosted most of my services since the 90s, and
I used to run large mail clusters when I was working professionally.
Nowadays, I'm a station manager for a small, non-profit community radio
station, and the mail server is becoming more important as we bring
people on staff.
However, I'm basically at the point where I'm throwing in the towel on
trying to stay on the good side of the larger email providers--
especially Microsoft, which sees a lot of use among my staff and
producers. The places I've set up my servers have either been in bad
actor neighborhoods (because they are cheap) or just don't have enough
reputation yet. I would really like to continue holding on to my own
email server, but I'd really like to offload handling that part of mail
administration.
For the record, I'm talking about a mail server with a maximum of maybe
50 users and a small group of discussion mailing lists for coordinating
station operations. Community engagement is handled elsewhere.
I'm not ready to fully admit defeat and completely host my email
elsewhere. We're aiming to be a fully self hosted, open source backed
station. What I would really like is a service that will just be my
WAN-facing MX. Looking around the only services I've been able to find
are decidedly about advertising, which is rather the opposite of what
I'm trying to accomplish. Also, we built the radio station basically
out of shoestrings and glue so our budget is fairly small.
So I thought I would ask the people who are doing the job day-to-day.
Any help would be appreciated, and free free to contact me any way you
need to.
-Sam
