Email Server Setup

Overview

Blue Canoe mail is built for reliable delivery, strong authentication, and straightforward management. Each service includes journaling archive, spam and virus filtering, and modern webmail and admin tools. Mobility and sync are supported via ActiveSync and CalDAV/CardDAV, with monitoring and automations keeping the service reliable and self-healing.

We cap client numbers to preserve quality and performance. Setup includes migration of existing users and DNS cutover. Typical migration for small organisations is completed in one day; rDNS may take up to 24h to propagate but does not block inbound mail.

Overview Blue Canoe DNS is a globally anycast, high-uptime authoritative service. Our footprint includes UK nodes plus Africa, USA, China, Mainland Europe, and Australia, with plans to add additional nodes in South America and the Middle East - for low-latency resolution worldwide. We support DNSSEC and all common record types (A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT for SPF/DKIM, SRV, CAA). Keeping DNS separate from hosting makes migrations painless and improves your security posture. This service is included by default with all managed hosting packages, but can also be purchased standalone. Start with a single domain and scale to dozens; pricing is simple per-domain annual billing. A typical setup starts with an import of existing records, enabling DNSSEC, switching nameservers, and monitoring — most changes propagate within minutes.
