http://serverfault.com – I have a domain thru NameCheap that has no hosting. It has its A-record set to tumblr so the domain points to tumblr's servers. I have all of the MX records set up for Google Apps so I can get mail at my domain that way. I would like buy hosting elsewhere for some server side PHP scripting capability. If I use PHP to send mail with the mail (); function, will it still work with Google Apps? (As a side note, is there a way I can have hosting on a domain but still be able to use Tumblr's backend to display my site, so I can upload scripts? I just have no HTML design talent and like the the (HowTos)

Stories similar to Own domain, PHP mail and Google Apps Gmail

Here's the situation:

I have a domain, let's say domain.com. That domain has Google Apps for Business enabled, so all mail delivered to @domain.com will end up at Google (MX records point to Google).

I have a PHP script at domain.com that I use to send mail to myself.

I have to setup a mail server because my hosting account don't allow me to send over 250 mail/hour.

I have a HP microserver at home and I want to use it to send the mails. I configured Virtualmin on it and i created the domain example.com in it (I have example.com registered with hosting on my hoster) but when I tried to send mail from outlook, my server send the emails, but gmail mark it as spam

I have a commercial website on an Ubuntu web server and my hosting company has a mail server for all its customers.

For security reasons, do you think I should rely on my hosting company's centralized mail server for my domain's email? Or should I just set up my own mail server on the same Cloud server?

Maybe I should use Google Apps' mail server for my own domain?

Thanks in advance

I have a hosting with my DNS and my Mail service (example.com).. I want to set my own mail server, but keeping the domain name example.com. i searched over the internet and found about mx records but I have some doubts.

Online secondary mail server 43 weeks 2 hours ago

At the present I am using Google Apps for my domain, but I want to set up another online mail for my domain provider as a second mx server, in case Gmail falls (it only promises 99.99% uptime) I tried using Outlook.com for my domain, but it won't except other MX records while claiming ownership - which will cause again downtime. Is there any way to fix this or use another free online email provide
