Project description
Our company needs an experienced administrator to migrate our corporate mail server from its current ageing setup to a modern platform. We have about fifty mailboxes on our own domain, several shared aliases and a few distribution lists, and we cannot afford to lose old correspondence or leave people without email for long. The main pain today is deliverability: our messages regularly land in the spam folder of partners and clients, and sometimes bounce outright.
The task has two parts. First, stand up the new mail platform, move all mailboxes with their folders and history, recreate aliases and lists, and switch mail flow over with the shortest possible downtime, keeping a rollback plan in case something goes wrong. Second, put sender authentication in proper order: configure the Sender Policy Framework record, set up domain key signing so outgoing mail is signed, and publish a reporting and conformance policy so receiving servers trust us. We also expect correct reverse lookup for the sending address and a clean sender reputation.
Please describe your experience with similar migrations, which platform you would recommend for our size and why, and how you plan to test that mail is accepted by the major providers before and after the switch. A short written handover and basic monitoring so we notice future problems early are important. We value a careful, staged approach over a rushed one.
