Tucows/OpenSRS works well for “ISP email” From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+ryan.finnesey=conovence....@nanog.org> On Behalf Of K. Scott Helms Sent: Tuesday, July 6, 2021 11:14 AM To: Steve Saner <ssa...@ideatek.com> Cc: NANOG list <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: Email and Web Hosting
Two decent options, one on prem and the other fully hosted. Tucows/OpenSRS has a fully hosted email offering that was built for ISPs to resell. (They also have domain registration and some other ISP focused services.) https://opensrs.com/services/hosted-email/ MagicMail is an email (including webmail) suite that you run on prem. It is comparatively inexpensive but also fully supported. It's built largely on qmail, but they replaced some of the components to deal with spam and virus filtering more efficiently. https://www.magicmail.com/ I have direct experience with both and have used them both for ISPs specifically.

We acquired a small ISP a couple years ago that has its roots in the "local ISPs" of the 90s. This ISP is still hosting email and web services for customers both on company domains as well as customer domains. There is some decent revenue coming from these services, but cost of maintenance is becoming a challenge. We are looking at migrating to another platform or completely discontinuing those services. I'm wondering if others here have gone through that process and have any advice as to how to go about it. -- Steve Saner | Senior Network Engineer ideatek INTERNET FREEDOM FOR ALL Cell: 620-860-9433 | 111 Old Mill Lane, Buhler, KS 67522 | ideatek.com<http://www.ideatek.com/> This email transmission and any documents, files or previous email messages attached to it may contain confidential information.
