Journal of Bringing a Lightweight Personal Mail Server Back to Life After IP Blacklisting – Final

After experimenting with SMTP2GO, I felt more confident using relay mail services. It worked well overall, but the pricing became less ideal when sending over 1,000 emails per month.

So, I set out to find a more affordable SMTP relay solution—and that led me to .

🛠️ MXroute BF2024 Medium Plan ($30 USD / every 3 years)

  • Storage: 25GB
  • Domains: Unlimited
  • Email Accounts: Unlimited
  • Outbound Limit: 400 emails/hour per address

Not bad, right? I decided to give it a shot.

I configured my MX records to route incoming mail to my own mail server, so 25GB of storage is more than enough for my needs.

The unlimited domains and email accounts are especially useful for managing multiple servers or blogs.

Unless the company disappears or something drastic happens, I see myself sticking with MXroute long-term. And who knows—maybe I’ll upgrade to their lifetime deal someday 😄

I highly recommend MXroute to small bloggers or anyone running their own mail server and struggling with delivery issues. Their SMTP relay service might just be your game-changer.

So for now… the journal of my mail server’s rebirth comes to a temporary close.
