Also, while there's a web portal for Office 365, everything can be managed via the command line using Powershell. You actually have more control through Powershell than through the GUI for advanced functions. The antispam is pretty good, I just have the basic antispam on my domain not the advanced, and have had very few false positives.

It works well, and the virtual machine is also offering various other services that I've configured (DNS, a small Web server, telephony via FreeSWITCH - not functional at the moment but likely to be reconfigured when I have time, etc.). There is no calendar, though I would like one that is compatible with both iOS devices and Microsoft Outlook. The main problem with the mail server is spam. I've tried SpamAssassin, rspamd and, the most successful of the options, crm114, which regrettably isn't currently maintained but still runs. The best that I've been able to achieve regrettably yields too many false positives. Thus my options are either to rework the antispam solution or to consider having the mail hosted by a large mail provider. Google and Microsoft, for example, can host, but it appears that one has to be a business in order to host domains with them, under a business plan. Of course, I love command line administration and the flexibility to configure everything - I would rather not go to an entirely Web-based UI designed for nontechnical users that doesn't provide the desired degree of control. I'm not running a business of any kind - I'm an individual in ongoing, full-time employment. Suggestions are welcome. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Monday, October 2, 2017 7:26 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Ryan Shugart <ryshugar@microsoft.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Migrate from Office365 to Outlook.com Hi: I looked at doing this myself a while ago for my personal domain, but in the end decided not to go there for now. Outlook.com is using Exchange on the back end, but you don't admin it like an Exchange account, AKA it didn't look like you had access to the EAC or Powershell CMDlets like you do with Exchange Online. I also couldn't figure out how to do some things like set up email aliases for users so multiple email addresses went to one account, set up group distribution lists, etc. So if you're looking for just basic email accounts and nothing more this may be OK, but if you want more advanced functionality, for now at least, you may want to stick to O365 with Exchange Online. I've always had the O365 business essencials package which doesn't have any Office downloads (accept for the Skype for Business client) and then used other options to get copies of Office.

You need to subscribe to Outlook Premium and pay a domain adding fee yearly to get this, but that gives you 5 email addresses. For those of us with 5 Office365 subscriptions that is quite a saving. I haven't done the migration as I pay annually for my subscription, and still may continue with it at the moment. From what I have read there is downtime as you need to delete your domain from the Office365 control panel and then add it into Outlook to make sure everything migrates across, there is apparently a nasty situation if you cancel the account without doing this where your domain is in limbo for 90 days in the database. That gives you an outlook.com and a domain email, you can then invite 4 more outlook.com members to sign up for your domain, giving you 5 addresses in total. If I don't do anything else I will be migrating to the Office365 personal next year instead of paying for the Office software as part of the subscription as it works out cheaper and gives you 1GB of OneDrive space per account which is actually quite useful as other apps use OneDrive personal and can't access OneDrive Business. Just thought it would be interesting for people. Let me know if you do it, Andrew. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.hodgs onfamily.org%2Flistinfo%2Fblind-sysadmins&data=02%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsof t.com%7Ccf3c3c27bcf249b53a8008d509ad95ab%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47% 7C1%7C0%7C636425563536744144&sdata=2%2BXxLD3TzOIEq5ERe13UO3RnLMvdlEM8%2FcPq% 2BvqK4Ds%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.hodgsonfamily.org%2Flistinfo%2Fblind-sysadmins&data=02%7C01%7Cryshugar%40microsoft.com%7C353ffc087ac84cef5f9408d50b2289e1%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636427165348952024&sdata=xUDS3YXc1VsGzIeOk7%2BNvYTFxlU3U3kg35i7Ec1Plg0%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
