Aside:  Duck mail from DuckDuckGo and Craigslist both handle this 
without any problem.


Further aside:  I find it ... uncomfortable ... that a privacy service

sincerely hope that's simply selective bias.  :-(

Or for me... think "grandpa" who already had a domain registered with
namecheap and switched it easily to gandi.net. :)

But to your point, I agree that this is not for everyone.  I just wanted
to point out what has been an excellent service for me.

I'm very partial to Gandi, and in fact have a few domains registered myself 
there.  Unfortunately, the small businesses asking us "where do we go for 
sending business email" already have domains, and very VERY little clue about 
email. 

(Think 'grandma', who has already registered grandmascookies.com with 
NameCheap, has the site hosted at Wix, has set up for bulk email with MailChimp 
or Constant Contact, and has been sending regular one-to-one business email as 
grandmascook...@gmail.com because they didn't know what else to do, but now 
realizes she should send business email as gran...@grandmascoookies.com and so 
want to get that set up. :-X)

I've received some great suggestions, thank you all! (And please keep them 
coming if you have more!)

I agree with all this. I had considered recommending ourselves, and had 
an email all prepared, but decided not to send it, because it probably 
wouldn't be worth the hassle. Our main reason for supplying email 
hosting is for customers of our other products so they don't have to 
deal with bad email hosting elsewhere (it actually reduces our support 
costs for our other products). We make very little money on email 
hosting, and once people start wanting personalised support, that wipes 
out the small profit margin, plus more. Microsoft & Google, etc get away 
without giving good support because people don't expect it from them. 
They do expect it from smaller companies, even though they're not paying 
much more.


I expect many of the smaller email providers are in the same boat.

their regular one-to-one business communications.  Google and MS seem 
to have the business email hosting thing locked up tight, but surely

Sure.

Absolutely.

MS and Google are likely to be more satisfying for less money, for 
reasons that no non-behemoth can beat, mostly because they've been able 
to throw development resources at their services for years in order to 
minimize human support load and drive down costs. Real coders cost more 
than real tech support, but a good coder can replace a support tech with 
code that doesn't need health insurance... (Sometimes.) MS365 with 
hosted Exchange or GApps/GMail are absolutely good enough for most small 
businesses, many of whom would be unable to discern the ways a smaller 
provider might be "better," particularly when providing just email.


In pet feed terms: It's no accident that Dog Chow outsells Farmer's Dog. 
The customers are reasonably satisfied with a cheap commodity, partly 
because they don't have any way to know what "better" options exist and 
may not care about their positive differentiators.


If a small business (say less than 10 people, hosts their website at 
their registrar's free hosting service, or Square or Wix) were to come 
to you and ask you from where they should send their one-to-one 
regular business correspondence email, who would you recommend?


The more pedestrian their needs, the more likely I would be to point 
them at MS. That horrifies me, but it is true. MS has one thing that no 
one else on the net can offer: rock-solid deliverability to MS-hosted 
domains. To *responsibly* recommend another provider I'd need to know 
that their other priorities (spam control, white-glove support, 
customized mail routing, 3rd-party integration, whatever) beat 
deliverability, price, and ease-of-use.

He is using Google Domains as his registrar and has recently found out 
that he can forward up to 100 email addresses as part of that service. 
As such, he is going to investigate forwarding his ~20 addresses

Never had a bad experience with them.  (I DID with NSI, and Verio - who

As to the hosting question:  I don't know, but I expect they're happy 
to.  I seem to recall that, when setting up a new mail service, they ask 
for all the domain information - and, if you're hosting with them, 
setting up all the records is automagic (suggesting that, if you're 
hosting elsewhere you can, but you have to set up all the DNS stuff 
yourself).

That is exactly the reason why I am looking for a solution (in EU) for my 
family mailboxes with a custom domain. 
Some hosters offer cheap e-mail hosting (e.g. TransIP in NL/BE). But I am 
afraid that spam filtering will be rough. 
Protonmail looks solid (and secure), but will cost the same as Google 
Workspace. Other good options in the EU?…

DreamHost is pretty good and reasonably priced. They do have the rare hiccup

I concur with the advice to use Fastmail.  I know the people who run it and 
they are competent and sensible.

If you know a Tucows reseller, they have a decent white-label e-mail that is a 
little less expensive.

Anne,

This is likely tied to Google's announcement that they are ending the 
legacy (Free) Gsuite services so many small or hobby domain owners are 
looking at other options.


Zoho, Fastmail, NameCheap, and 1&1 are all services I've been looking at 
as they seem reasonably priced and easy to manage.


I'm looking for suggestions on other options as well, for a handful of 
vanity/hobby domains with 1 or 2 users. Catch all address support and 
the ability to reply via an alias. Open to suggestions.

Re: [mailop] Who Do You Recommend for Small Business Regular (Non-Bulk) Email?

[William Wright via mailop]

Hello Anne,

I'd recommend Fastmail as they operate a reliable mail service with support.

It's a hard sell these days when Google and Microsoft bundle other "features" 
to argue for something which only provides one service and one service only but 
to me Fastmail still provides excellent value.

[mailop] Who Do You Recommend for Small Business Regular (Non-Bulk) Email?

[Anne Mitchell via mailop]

All,

For some reason we have recently had a spate of small businesses coming to us 
asking us for our recommendations for a service to host their regular 
one-to-one business communications.  Google and MS seem to have the business 
email hosting thing locked up tight, but surely there must be email providers 
out there that are friendlier, easier to set up, and maybe even with some 
decent support (or is that a pipe dream?)

If a small business (say less than 10 people, hosts their website at their 
registrar's free hosting service, or Square or Wix) were to come to you and ask 
you from where they should send their one-to-one regular business 
correspondence email, who would you recommend?

Anne
