Two Email Questions

[owatagal]

I have two quick questions on email.

 

First, I know there's an email limit of X messages per X minutes (or something similar). Does that include both incoming and outgoing traffic? Or is it only on sending -- we can receive all we want (within bandwidth limits) but only send X/Xminutes? [i have to admit, I'm fairly pleased that my mailing list is reaching a point where I have to start thinking about this. More than five people care what's going on at my site...]

 

Second, I may be setting up a client site where the TCH mailing limits will be too restrictive. I understand why the limits are in place and have no problem with them in general terms, but this client will be running both a mailing list and a fairly active discussion list. Is it possible to host a site in one place (at TCH) and run the email elsewhere? Does anyone have experience with splitting a site that way? Or in the long run will it be easier to just host this particular site elsewhere to keep their hosting and email in the same place?

Hi Owatagal,

 

First of all, I have edited out the limit numbers since we do not want these numbers shown in the forum.

 

I don´t have the answer for the second question but for number one:

Or is it only on sending -- we can receive all we want (within bandwidth limits) but only send X/Xminutes?

Yes, this should be correct.

Thanks Thomas.

 

Sorry about the limit numbers -- I'd just picked them up from a search in the forum so I didn't realize they were staying out of the posts themselves.

To answer the second part of your question. Yes it's possible but I have never done it. The MX records would need to be changed to route mail somewhere else.

Thanks Bruce -- it helps to know it's possible.

Yea, it works, and works fine. I've been doing it that way for one of my own domains for a year and a half now with no problems.

When you are ready you can submit a helpdesk ticket and the techs will get the information they need from you and set it up to go to the other mail service.
