1346841 2013-06-24 23:57:00 Once again I am having trouble with my email and its annoying me.
The server is holding up certain emails and I am not receiving them, case in point the daily sale emails from mighty ape, as you can imagine receiving those a week late is fairly pointless.

Long story short (too late) I need a new mail server.
I am NOT interested in a google server as I want someone to set this up to my specifications and for the system to be completely hands off for me.

I have several email addresses that are active and I need a catchall on my domain.

Any suggestions?
Prefer to deal with someone I know/know of, rather than be referred to a company.

1346843 2013-06-25 05:26:00 Is this for home use/ personal or business, are you totally anti cloud setup or just google apps? What are you expecting to pay for this to be setup? Alex B (15479)

I am not anti-cloud at all just that the Google setup required ME to do it all and I have no interest in that. I want to open Outlook or log into the web client and my emails be there.

Rather not state what I would pay, that puts me at a disadvantage for any negotiation that might arise from this thread.

And what makes you think your current server is "holding back" mail?
POP3 doesn't work like that, it is the client that decides what to request from the server.
Check the time stamps in the 'received' headers - that will tell you where any delivery delays are happening.

1346847 2013-06-25 08:08:00 I have space on a server that belongs to a friend. He set it up for me and manages it but he can't seem to solve this issue.

As for how I know......
Well I have had numerous reports of emails that are sent and not arriving for days and if that wasn't enough the Daily Deal emails from Mighty Ape are sent at noon every day and I am not receiving them. I can receive up to a weeks worth at once.

It also seems that the spam filters on this server are no longer functioning.

1346848 2013-06-25 08:32:00 Google required you to do it all? You verify your domain and that's it?! Chilling_Silence (9)
1346849 2013-06-25 08:44:00 Anecdotes are nice for supporting a whine - if you are interested in improving the situation, provide some actual evidence. fred_fish (15241)
