If you are referring to my "not truly ready for commercial use" comment:
With commercial use I meant "commercial mail hoster". An example would be the fact that mailcow uses Let's Encrypt to give each handled domain a SSL certificate, but that puts a limit of a 100 domains per server: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/issues/461
Also, it is not easy to add high availability

Otherwise, it is a very good platform. I have production servers and hundreds of mailboxes

Edit: Commercial e-mail hoster is better than previous commercial web mail hoster

@Alex-Sage
I like it a lot. My opinion:

The good

• Great features: Sieve, rspamd, SOGo (or roundcube), full access to Postifx and others for customization
• Good community: @andryyy is awesome, and he is not alone!
• Light
• Semi white label
• I will stop, you are asking for issues

The bad

• There can be issues with updates, so it is a good idea to watch github for issues and also Mailcow's news feed. I learnt the bad way to wait a bit before upgrading
• I believe that it is not truly ready for commercial use. The main author has been burned by commercial users not supporting the project so features mostly useful for commercial use are not a priority

@scottalanmiller
Awesome, thank you

My Open Source solution of choice is Mailcow. But I am looking for a good relay for cPanel and I am considering the obvious: MailChannels. But open to options.
MailGun Pay as you go looks interesting but I have read that some users have experienced some intermittent relay denials. I am guessing that they are on the free tier.
Are you on the Pay as you Go plan or other? Any problem whatsoever?

hostwithlove.com was great when I used it; good performance, networking & support

@syko24 said in Content Filtering:

A couple options I’ve used that work pretty well and are very affordable:

https://www.dnsfilter.com

And https://nxfilter.org is you want something self hosted

I have a client using DNSFilter as one of its security layers. So far, so good. And yes, very affordable.

Entersource (among others) ships to many countries

I got to say this: I din't find a public price below 150 USD + TAX, you are right.

In the past I used SpamExperts; I don't know the current price but it used to be per domain, not per mail address. Just consider that it is now owned by Solarwinds.

Depending of the situation:

• rspamd, works very well but needs to be configured properly. It is used in mailcow, I like it.
• SpamAssassin + things.
• Otherwise, whatever comes with the email service, like the default anti SPAM of Office 365
  Mixed results, no doubt. You know, the more work I put on configuration and training the better results.

On the enterprise side, I have heard great things about Mimecast (obviously), Roaring Penguin and Cyren

I had it yesterday in enlaza's shopping cart at 103 + TAX; today it shows 179 + TAX
I am asking a local distributor; I will let you know

@scottalanmiller
I will check prices on Monday, what is a good price in USA?
Amazon.com has them at ~170 USD and https://enlaza.mx has it at 119.48 USD Tax included in Mexico (but I don't know the company)

@hobbit666
My colleagues have used https://www.fs.com/?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=SFP successfully. Take a look

@scottalanmiller
Which model?
Most imported things in Mexico will pay 16% VAT (IVA), it doesn't matter if it is imported by a large distributor or an individual. Add the customs agency fees and that 45% start feeling smaller.

And that is for countries that have a Free Trade agreement with Mexico; otherwise the government will have another slice of the cake.

For options, check https://www.reddit.com/r/Veeam/comments/7d5dq4/veeam_cloud_connect_pricing/
According to some users, Quest is hard to beat on price/support

I use DNSfilter for a client for simple filtering. It works well.

@tim_g
Some editors handle the TODO's very well when prefixed like this:
//TODO: whatever ...
/TODO: whatever .../
Thay way you can have a look of all of your pending stuff in one place

The editor in the picture is PhpStorm

@scottalanmiller
Oh, yes: Learn from a good source.
PHP "was" badly designed. PHP 7 has more sanity. Quoting someone on the internet: "Languages like Python or Ruby were designed, PHP just happened"

I also use Cyberarms Intrusion Detection.It works well

I am not sure I would recommend PHP as a first language; perhaps PHP 7 leveraging Laravel or something structured. Mainstream PHP programmers used to have many bad habits. PHP 7 has good object support and I do not dislike it that much.
Python is very good for a first language.
I am more of a backend programmer and for that I like Go; it is a small language with very good concurrency.
For front end I like https://vuejs.org/ more than React

By the way, the python paradox is a good read: http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html

Jokes aside, Mailcow works very well and the author's support is awesome; this one I use and recommend.
I would say that Mailcheap's web site has lots of information, but that's me. I don't use it as I host my own email (besides using Office 365/G Suite/others depending on the client). I just seemed to me that it checked all @thwr needs while being recommended by people I trust.
