My name is Ricky.
Congrats on this successful forum.
I see you have huge experience in email related tech, so I seek your advice on my requirement.
Consider I am providing a design & hosting solution to a Fastfood chain for their fan site. They need to let consumers create an email address which will just be a forwarder. It will be 1 main site such as,example.com and it will have 20+ domain options such as, {domains similar to example.com} etc... where the visitor can create his email such as john@example.com
To do such an exercise, these are some options I think I can use:
1. Use an API with the registrar for realtime creation of email fwds
(Good: Maybe easiest. Bad: Registrar may not allow unlimited email fwds, Long term not stable)
2. Use a Server with every consumer landing on 1 website (domain) & create realtime fwd addresses
on multiple domains that are pointed to this server
3. Use a Server with every consumer landing on the multiple individual domains &
create realtime fwd addresses on those specific domains
(Being not too technical, I guess if #2 is possible, then #3 may not have much of an advantage)
4. Use a mail company like fastmail/pobox/mxserver to accomplish this
5. Anything I don't know yet : )
Would like you to please suggest which will be the best approach &
then what exactly should be the MX on each of the domains so I can hire a programmer and get started with the entire operation.
Cheers,
Rickson
