eMail / Mailing List

[mlbfan]

Justin, Deb, et al,

First and foremost, thanks for another great year. I truly do appreciate the class service I've received and I look forward to adding my next site here and another year of service with baseball-almanac.com. Thank you.

My question. I had my mx (hope that is the right set of initials) forwarded (?) / changed (?) so I could offer email addresses to users of my site. This was handled by you and done perfectly - of course.

Can I still install a newsletter client on my site and send it out via baseball-almanac.com? I ask because everyone.net (my email box provider) does not offer a newsletter service and I simply forward that mail to my ISP. My ISP (BellSouth) does not allow a high number of duplicate messages to be sent through their servers to prevent spamming and will not change their policy for individual / home users.

Suggestions? Ideas? Anything?

Thank you again,

Sean

Hi Sean,

On behalf of all of FutureQuest, Thank You for the continued support:)

Regarding using your domain, www.baseball-almanac.com (http://www.baseball-almanac.com), to send out mail.[nbsp][nbsp]Once you change the MX records all aspects of your email is handled by the provider that you changed the MX record to.

Which also means that EzMLM from FutureQuest is not a viable option for you.

I am sure that this isn't what you wanted to hear :(
Maybe someone who is in the same boat as you are will drop on by with a suggestion?

Have a Good One
Bob

Hi,

I went a slightly different route in that I registered a separate domain name for offering mail. Although I didn't have FutureQuest adjust the MX records for this domain, I believe that IRMs can have their own MX records. So I have www.domain.com (http://www.domain.com) for newsletters and site-specific e-mail and www.domainmail.com (http://www.domainmail.com) set up with Everyone.net for offering e-mail.

I think you could go the opposite route, which would be registering a domain name specifically for your newsletter, e.g. baseball-almanac-newsletter.com, setting up an IRM, then setting up your newsletter on the IRM domain.

Can anyone verify that this solution is valid?

It's possible to do as you describe, yes, but also important to note the the ezmlm lists will not work with IRMs so the need for a separate software is there if you go this route..
