Email forwarding

[asweb]

Hello,

I am brand new here but could use some advice. I have a domain whose primary purpose is email forwarding. I had this on Godaddy for nearly 10 years but finally moved it because of the high renewal prices. I transferred it over to Namesilo a couple weeks ago, where I already had a couple other domains registered. Those others use external nameservers for hosting, so this current one I transferred is the first using Namesilo's servers.

The problem I'm having is Namesilo's email filtering seems to be very overzealous and is blocking a lot of legitimate senders I used to receive at Godaddy with no problem. Many of these are major businesses, so I can't see why Namesilo's filtering logic is blocking them.

This issues is significant enough that I'm considering transferring to a different registrar. Is this kind of email blocking problem common? I'm pretty happy with everything else about Namesilo, but I'll go back to Godaddy if I have to.

I had enough problems with Namesilo's email forwarding that I finally gave up and transferred somewhere else.

My suggestion is to give up forwarding and host your own E-mail instead.

I was just asking someone if they knew about how private email systems work, how are incoming emails handled / filtered. I thought I'd tag you about this since I currently have most of my domains w/ private whois.

Also, I've set up email addresses using my domains (usually as contact@ exampledomain.com ) and and tested them with a gmail/outlook account, they seem to work fine. I wonder why this is the case for @asweb.

you can transfer to a godaddy reseller with better renewal rates than godaddy's main site.

not certain, but I would expect their forwarding to work the same.

Don't host your own email unless you are an experienced system admin and can prevent/spot understand issues. E-mail doesn't have encryption and privacy really built in and configuring all of that is a pita. You will, more than likely, if you are cheap end up within a bank of IPs that gets blacklisted (i.e. if you get a low end box).

Much better off to get your own email provider that knows what they are doing. You can get an Exchange server setup from MS for ~ $5 a month.

If you get proper shared hosting somewhere legitimate then you can setup your own e-mail which is probably what Kate means.
