I have a client who wants to provide email to members using her corporate domain. We are looking at using everyone.net for a couple reasons however we’re wondering how they handle internal staff email. From my understanding updating your MX records forwards all email requests to everyone.net. Is there a way to have some names @ her domain go to everyone.net and others (i.e. [email protected]) remain POP3 accounts on our server? How do you guys with everyone.net handle this? Do you know of any services that are superior then everyone.net and still low cost or free?

Thanks a bunch.

I believe the only way you can have mail@yourdomain end up in a pop box is to forward that mail to the actual pop user name that is set up on the server using the server name, not the domain.

So if your sever is something.host.com, you forward some mail to [email protected] and it will get there.

Haven't found anything better than everyone.
