    Need Email Host

    Okay, this is what I'm looking for:

    Email hosting for my domain
    -Shell access with pine available (to check email) is a MAJOR plus.
    -Need about 2 mailboxes to start with, up to 15 or 20 in the future.
    -Space isn't important - probably only a few megs total amongst all the accounts.

    I'm not looking to spend too much on this, but it really shouldn't be that expensive. I don't mind if the host has panels available.

    Anyone have experience with a host that has these options available? Seems like all the "email hosters" on google are rather expensive and don't provide exactly what I'm looking for.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention that I just want to point the MX records since I need to host the domain on my nameservers.

    There are a few hosts out there that provide email-only hosting. You may want to look around the forums at some of the smaller hosts.

    Kind Regards,

    HostWay provides Email Hosting. You may want to try them. Not for sure how their service is but I am sure you can gather up some valuable reviews here on WHT or google them.

    Well, I kinda figured spam control was a given and I'm not too worried about virus scanning Guess I should have mentioned those though.

    You would be surprised what you deem a ncessity other think it is optional... besides, in case you over look it and signup, you might find out it is available for for additional $$$

    There's a little footnote on the email page saying that it's only available for domains registered through them.

    I agree, plus its always good to KNOW that you have it with you. Things seem to work out like that, you always need something when you don't have it, and don't need it when you have it! hehe

    Hmmm, my only guess would be to better control SPAM?
