How do I migrate my email from another provider or my own mail server to you?
Moving your email to XMission only requires a few simple steps.
The first thing you should do is have the Hosted Email option added to your XMission account. Once it has been added and you have chosen a password for the management interface, you will be able to log in and create the accounts you need for your domain name. It is best to have that done first, so that when all the necessary DNS changes have been made, your accounts will be ready to start receiving mail.
After you have added the accounts, you will be ready to change the MX record for your domain. You should contact whoever is handling the DNS for your domain and have the MX record pointed to mx.xmission.com. DNS changes usually take up to 24 hours to propagate, so it is likely you will receive mail at both your old provider and XMission for a short window of time until the DNS change has fully propagated. That being the case, it is a good idea to leave email services running at your old provider until all of the changes have been completed. This will ensure that you do not lose any mail in the migration process.
Remember that once you have created your accounts you will need to reconfigure your email clients to check the new account.
Where do I point MX records?
MX records for Hosted Email should be pointed at mx.xmission.com.
How do I set up whitelisitng and filtering for my hosted email accounts?
All whitelisitng and filtering is done via the web interface which you can access by going to http://mailcenter.xmission.com Filtering is done on an per account basis, so you will need to log in and create specific filters for each account.
Can I do mail relay using Hosted Email?
XMission does not allow mail relaying.
Can I have multiple domains pointed to my hosted email?
You can have domain name aliases added to your account. For example, if you have yourdomain.com and yourdomain.net you can add a Hosted Email package for yourdomain.com and alias yourdomain.net. This will make it so any email accounts you create for yourdomain.com will also work for yourdomain.net.
Keep in mind the email for both will go into the main account, so mail for john@yourdomain.com and john@yourdomain.net will both be checked by logging into the account for john@yourdomain.com. If you want separate mailboxes, you will need to add a Hosted Email package for each domain name.
My business does a lot of email with large providers like Yahoo. Does Hosted Email support domain keys?
XMission does not currently support domain keys.
How do I manage my Hosted Email accounts?

How do I change my admin password for the mailcenter management page?
