Title says it all, in the last couple years Black Friday hasn’t been as exciting in terms of deals, that’s why this post, if you stumble upon anything interesting and you think it’s worth it, you can share it with the community here.

    MXroute has nice deals. I self-host my emails and I use MXroute only for outgoing emails so the cheapest one (least storage) is enough.

      I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the “Forbidden Services” where they forbid “Forward-only service for massive numbers of domains on one account.” I have 5 domains… Any idea what “massive numbers” means?

      Also, can you send to an sms gateway a single email?

        Bulk email providers need pretty tight and aggressively worded ToS by necessity because they’re a target for spammers & abuse. The owner of mxroute has been around on various forum for years & consistently strikes me as a very reasonable bloke that won’t cause you problems if you don’t cause him problems.

        Maybe I’m imagining this so please don’t quote me on this but I vaguely recall hearing them answering a question around what constitutes reasonable in the context of unlimited domains as “if you needed a script/automation to create them then you’re probably over the line”.

        [Note that this is purely my impression as long term customer & I have no special insight/connection to them. Legally they can enforce the ToS]

          Thanks. I want a fallback for problematic mail servers (Microsoft) only, and do not want to pay the tool to the people causing the problem. :)

      Worth noting that mx renewals honor BF pricing.

      I’m still cruising on my 2019 era BF deal lol…
