Would it be possible to set up email addresses or a mailing list that is on a separate mail server than the customers mail server for announcements sent by Jodohost?
The reason I am requesting this is that I have set up my hotmail account as my contact email address in case there is a problem with my domains email server, this would allow me to continue to have communication if the forum and/or my own domains mail server is down.
The problem is that I don't check my hotmail account all that much.
My previous hosts had it set up so that all emails (like tickets or otherwise) go to 2 addresses, one for my domain and one that they suggest does not reside on my domain in case of problems. I don't think Hspere supports this.
It may be too difficult to do this and I don't know if jodohost has more than one mail server...but if it is possible I think it would be a great idea.
The problem I find with announcments being made in the forum is that I don't visit all the time. What about maybe making a mailing list for this...of course this wouldn't support ticket emails but it would at least support one of the two issues I mentioned above.
I find most web hosts provide a personal email address @webhost.com. If we had this, we could use this email for the ticketing system and then subscribe to a mailing list for general announcements to keep up to date.
Please forgive me if this doesn't make 100% sense. I need to go to bed as I am a little tired but I at least wanted to get my thought out.
We could even use a Yahoo group for the mailing list. That way you wouldn't have to use any of your bandwidth and it would be on a separate server from Jodohost.
I'd love to hear your suggestions for this.
