Hello,

I have my own SMTP server running on my machine. I am able to send and recieve with the users on my account. People are able to send/recieve from those users in the account. In addition they are able to send out to email companies such as yahoo and gmail. However they users are unable to recieve from those companies because my port 25 is blocked by my isp. Currently I am using port 587 for my smtp listener. My question is, Do you have any service that I can purchase that will allow my emails to recieve from domains other than my own. Basically when someone sends and email from say yahoo to myname@mydomain.com instead of using the port 25, for it to be routed to 587. Essentially its Incoming SMTP Relaying alternate-port option. If there is such a service that allows me to do this, how much is it and are they any limitations to it. Thank you for your time.

Hello,

Yes, our backup smtp product will do just this. You specify a smarthost for the domain(s) you add to our systems, and we forward all mail received to that smarthost. The smarthost can be something like 'mymailserver.example.org:2525'. If its not port 25, then just append it at the end using :port syntax.

Don't forget to update your MX records and point them to our mail servers. The configuration is under our email menu, choose Client Configuration to see the settings.

Ok then I guess my next quesiton is what does the 2 mb of storage mean in the pricing guide. Does that mean I only am allowed a 2 mb bandiwth of email traffic at anygiven time. Or does it mean no message can be greater than 2 mb of data?

Hello,

This 2mb limit is per day, midnight to midnight PST time. It also determines your max message size.

Thanks,
Sam
