In this video. I discuss how imortant it is to ensure that your communications are delivered, whether to your clients from you, to you from your clients, or even from your automated systems like authentication, support tools, monitoring systems and so much more. We discuss the pros and cons of self hosting email in 2024 and beyond, as well as the benefits of using a service like Purely Mail. As always, my goal is to help us get our MSP, or any other business up and running with as little up front cost as we can. I have no affiliation to Purely Mail, and the link below is just to their main site. I have no stake in you using Purely or any other solution. I do have affiliate links for Hover (which I use in this video for my domain name and DNS services. If you use it for your domain registration, I'll receive a credit from Hover. You can also sign up to get an affiliate link with hover, and I recommend you do so, as this can benefit you as you help clients sign up for domains in the future. === Links === Purely Mail https://purelymail.com/ Get the AwesomeOpenSource Merchandise null Support my Channel and ongoing efforts through Patreon: https://patreon.com/awesomeopensource Buy Me a Coffee or Beer https://paypal.me/BrianMcGonagill?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US === Timestamps === 00:00 Beginning 00:08 Introduction 03:02 Quick Aside about Running a Mail Server from your Homelab 03:30 Purely Mail Pricing Overview - It's Cheap! 05:33 Creating your Admin Account 07:48 Setting Up Purely Mail to Send andReceive using your Domain 08:51 Setup EMail DNS Records for Purely Mail 16:02 Setup Our First Email Address 22:34 The Purely Mail Stats Dashboard === Contact === Twitter: @mickintx Telegram: @MickInTx Mastodon: @MickInTx@fosstodon.org Try out SSDNodes VPS Services!
