Mail Hosting

What we can offer:

• full hosting (MX1) on our servers:
  • multiple email addresses which can be real mailboxes or mere redirections at another third party addresses
  • based on milkypond.org (or maybe duckcorp.org) domain(s) or you own domain(s)
• fallback retention (MX2) on our servers or, at your choice, partner servers (currently via Hivane)

Full Hosting

Access Methods

You can retrieve your mails, in case of a real mailbox, using:

• IMAP+TLS (TCP 143) / IMAPS (TCP 993) on imap.duckcorp.org
• or POP3+TLS (TCP 110) / POP3S (TCP 995) on pop.duckcorp.org

The IMAP protocol is recommanded, as it provides many interresting features. If you want to download all your mails absolutely at home, loosing the ability to read your mail from anywhere on the planet, you can do that with IMAP too (look at your mail client settings).

You can use our servers to send mails out too via smtp.duckcorp.org using:

• SMTP+TLS (TCP 25) / SMTPS (TCP 465)
• and SASL authentication

Mail Filtering

With your favourite mail client, you can probably filter your mails in proper folders already. Nevertheless, this can be a annoying operation:

• blocking you mail client for a long time if you have to process plenty of mails
• downloading each mail information, and sometimes content (depending on your filters), is lenghty too, and cost much bandwidth
• syncing filters accross your machines (home desktop, laptop, office machine…) is a pain in the ass
• processing only when you're online prevents triggering actions in a timely manner (automatic redirect, vacation messages…), and running a machine 24/7 with a mail client polling new mails every 30s is not a solution

We provide a much better way to do this using the SIEVE filters.

Retention fallback

The current retention period on our servers is 2 weeks, but can be temporary or permanently increased if needed.
