Business Email Servers

Business email on your own server.

Your domain, your mailboxes, your server. We deploy and configure mail servers for small organizations, with DNS, authentication and spam protection set up properly from the start.

# Who may send mail for example.org, and how to check it
example.org.        MX  10 mail.example.org.
example.org.        TXT "v=spf1 mx -all"
mail._domainkey     TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjAN…"
_dmarc              TXT "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.org"
Example records. The real values are generated for your domain and server.
What we do

Mail infrastructure, set up properly.

Deployment and configuration

Sending and receiving mail, mailboxes and aliases, IMAP access and webmail where needed, with TLS throughout.

DNS and mail authentication

MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, and reverse DNS where the network provider allows it.

Spam protection

Filtering of incoming mail, tuned over time so that legitimate mail gets through.

Migration

Moving mailboxes from your current provider or server, with a planned switch-over to keep disruption low.

Backups and maintenance

Backup planning, updates, certificate renewals and checks of mail queues and blocklists.

Deliverability

Checking authentication, reputation and test deliveries to large providers before and after go-live.

Deliverability

What we can control, and what we can't.

No one can guarantee that every message lands in the inbox. We set up everything that is under our control and tell you plainly about the rest.

Under our control

Done correctly from day one and checked regularly.

  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records
  • TLS certificates and server configuration
  • Spam filtering for incoming mail
  • Monitoring of queues and blocklists

Outside anyone's full control

Factors that influence where mail ends up.

  • The reputation of the sending IP address
  • Policies of large providers such as Gmail and Outlook
  • Whether reverse DNS can be set on your connection
  • The content and volume of what you send
