Want to your email youremail@yourdomain.com hosted by GMAIL for FREE ?!

Many of my customers have been extremely happy using gmail as their primary interface when dealing with mail addressed to their hosted domains. Using this technique, emails appear to be received and sent from your domain, but all email management is completed at gmail.

You too, can have this feature for FREE, Google is giving free service for small organisation, check their TOS. If I remember well, it is up to 10 users and 10GB of email account each.

You are required to have a Gmail address to sign up for Gmail for your domain. If you do not have a Gmail account, you can register for one from the link provided below. To learn more about Gmail for your domain, visit:

Once you are approved for Gmail for your domain (which can take 7-10 days), you will need to change the MX records on your domain. This is an ‘advanced’ setting at some registars, so they will give you ample warnings that you can mess this up and not receive any e-mails.

Give it about an hour or two, and you are now live with Gmail for your domain.

The biggest thing you need to do to configure your domain to change the Custom MX.

Question :

I have just signed up a hosting account and setup email accounts. I wish to forward all my emails to my comcast.net email account, it doesn’t work. Any suggestions on how to fix this ?

 Answer :

Please avoid forward your emails to a comcast.net address. Forwarding doesn’t filter out any of the spam. So, the Comcast servers see a load of spam coming from your mail servers, and blacklist them. Then, none from the server can send mail to comcast.net addresses until the blacklisting gets lifted. But then, it just happens all over again.

There is absolutely no reason for forwarding email from your server. If you want to receive all your mail elsewhere then redirect the MX record. If not then simply set up your email program to retrieve from your host as well as where ever else you get mail. Most email programs can handle retrieving emails from as many millions of email accounts as you have.

Forwarding emails means that you run the risk of having the receiving account supplier misidentifying your server as a spammer source and then neither you nor anyone else with accounts on your server will be able to send mail to that email accounts with that supplier.
