[SLUG] Re: Thanks

2010-09-26 Thread James Polley
Thanks Ehtyar :)

There's already been some discussion on this on the activities list
(the thread starts at
http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/activities/2010/08/msg3.html),
culminating in the rules the Bay Area Debian group uses to organise
their social meetings being posted on our wiki (at
http://wiki.slug.org.au/social_meets) as a starting point.

In short, we just need someone to kick things off by proposing a time
and a venue...

Oh I figured it was a hoax/scam, I've just seen a few of them coming 
from real ish mail servers which lead me to wonder if there was some big 
push or other oddness happening.


Just the usual Russian mob then I assume.

[SLUG] Hosting e-mail?

2010-09-26 Thread Amos Shapira
Hello,

My wife's studio's web site is hosted with web24.com.au for a second
year in a row and we are pretty happy with it, for the price it costs
us.

One thing we mistrust them with, however, is that e-mail to her domain
seems to be flaky. Test messages that we send to it not always arrive
to the destination (nor bounce).

We forward all e-mail for that domain to a default GMail mailbox and
some specific addresses (e.g. "info@", which is mentioned in the
contact form) to another mailbox.

Could someone suggest a better mail service we can rent separately
from web24 and point the MX records for that domain? We don't need
fancy features (e.g. Exchange), just something which will reliably
forward e-mail to our various gmail mailboxes.

We have already pre-paid an annual fee to web24 so we'll lose money if
we try to move now, plus it's an extra effort we can't fit into our
lives right now (expecting another baby).

Thanks,

--Amos

Fastmail.fm are good, but...

...would the free Google Apps for Domains meet your needs?  It is limited to
50 mailboxes, and is separate from your current gmail account, but should give
you equal reliability and capacity.  (Plus you are obviously happy with their
overall service and all...)

Regards,
Daniel

No worries.  My next choice would definitely be fastmail.fm; we recommend and
resell them here at work, and I know some of the folks who work for them.
They are solid, if all you want is great IMAP mail support. :)
