Email Hosting | Microsoft 365 Email

ServMe IT has had a question from a customer using cPanel for his email accounts. He wants to migrate to Microsoft so he can use Teams and Calendar, but he wants to keep some of his emails in cPanel.

Problem

A customer has used several business emails just for logging in to various websites. The emails do not send and receive email, but may be required for password resets. As the address isn’t used as a “live” mailbox, the customer doesn’t want to purchase licenses from Microsoft to keep the address. Is there a way of doing this for free?

Answer

The simple answer is yes.

The bigger question is, should we try configure two hosting providers with the one business domain, or can we do this with Microsoft alone?

The answer is, we can do it either way. It is much higher risk using two providers as there is a complex configuration we would need to go through to ensure mail is routed to the correct provider, depending on the email address used.

This is achieved using:

  • Microsoft 365 as the primary mail server (MX records point to Microsoft)
  • Mail flow connectors in Exchange Online
  • Shared domain configuration
  • Forwarding / routing rules between Microsoft and cPanel

Microsoft calls this a “shared email domain” or hybrid mail routing.

This works, but:

  • More complex to set up
  • More difficult to troubleshoot
  • Can cause mail loops if configured incorrectly

I generally only recommend this when a customer is migrating gradually.

I would like to move my emails

to Microsoft 365 Business
Email Support

Preferred Solution

Move Everything to Microsoft 365 (Recommended)

This is usually the best solution if the customer wants:

  • Microsoft Teams
  • Shared calendars
  • Outlook integration
  • OneDrive
  • SharePoint
  • Exchange Online email

In this setup:

  • Email is hosted in Microsoft 365.
  • The domain’s MX records point to Microsoft.
  • cPanel email accounts are migrated and then retired.

This gives the cleanest experience and avoids mail routing issues.

The “inactive” Mailbox Solution

How do we then handle our “unused” email addresses?

The Shared Mailbox

A common trick is:

  1. Create a licensed user mailbox (e.g. info@company.co.nz).
  2. Convert it to a Shared Mailbox.
  3. Remove the licence.

The mailbox continues to work as a Shared Mailbox provided:

  • It stays under 50 GB.
  • No Exchange Online Archive is required.
  • Nobody logs in directly to the mailbox.

Users with their own licensed accounts can then access the shared mailbox.

If they want:

and each person has their own login, Outlook, Teams and Calendar, then each user needs a licence such as:

  • Microsoft 365 Business Basic, or
  • Microsoft 365 Business Standard

Example

A common setup is:

Mailbox Licence
grant@servmeit.co.nz Business Standard
accounts@servmeit.co.nz Shared Mailbox
support@servmeit.co.nz Shared Mailbox
sales@servmeit.co.nz Shared Mailbox

 

That gives you one paid licence and multiple departmental addresses.

Installing Docker on Ubuntu 22.04

, ,

Docker

What is Docker?

Docker is a platform that lets developers package applications and everything they need to run — code, libraries, dependencies, and settings — into lightweight, portable units called containers.

Can you explain what a comtainer is?

Think of a container like a self-contained box for an application:

  • It includes the app
  • The runtime environment
  • Required software dependencies
  • Configuration files

Because everything is bundled together, the application runs the same way on:

  • Your laptop
  • A test server
  • A cloud platform
  • A client’s infrastructure

How has Docker become so popular?

Before Docker:

  • “It works on my machine” was a constant problem
  • Developers had to manually install dependencies
  • Moving apps between environments often broke things

Docker solved this by making applications:

  • Portable
  • Consistent
  • Easy to deploy
  • Fast to scale

Docker

Getting Started Guide

Key Concepts?

Containers

A container is an isolated environment running an application.

Unlike a full virtual machine:

  • Containers share the host operating system kernel
  • They are much lighter and faster
  • They start in seconds

Images

A Docker image is the blueprint/template for a container.

Example:

  • Ubuntu image
  • MySQL image
  • Nginx image
  • Custom business application image

Dockerfile

A text file containing instructions to build an image.

Example:

FROM ubuntu:24.04
RUN apt-get update
COPY . /app
CMD [“python3”, “app.py”]

Docker Hub

Docker Hub is Docker’s online repository where you can download prebuilt images

Common Docker Tools

  • Docker Desktop — GUI for Windows/Mac
  • Docker Compose — manage multiple containers
  • Kubernetes — large-scale container orchestration

Common self-hosted Docker apps

  • Uptime Kuma – self-hosted uptime monitoring with a clean dashboard. Great for monitoring your clients’ sites / services and your own infrastructure. Each client can have their own status page.
  • Grafana – Metrics visualisation and dashboarding. Pair it with a data source like Prometheus, InfluxDB, or even your N-able data and you’ve got powerful visibility into infrastructure health.
  • Nextcloud – Self-hosted file sync/share and collaboration (think Google Drive/Office alternative). Useful for client file sharing, internal document management, or even as a value-add service for clients.
  • Vaultwarden – Lightweight self-hosted Bitwarden-compatible password manager.
  • Nginx Proxy Manager – Reverse proxy with a GUI. Essential glue for running all the above on a VPS — handles SSL certs, subdomain routing, and keeps everything tidy behind a single IP.

How do I install Docker on Ubuntu 22.04?

Step 1 — Update your package index and install prerequisites

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

Update package index and install prerequisites

Step 2 — Add Docker’s official GPG key

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg –dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

Step 3 — Add the Docker repository

echo \

  “deb [arch=$(dpkg –print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \

  $(lsb_release -cs) stable” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Step 4 — Install Docker Engine

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Install Docker Engine

Step 5 — Verify the Installation

sudo docker run hello-world

Verifying the installation

Step 6 (Recommended) — Run Docker without “sudo”

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

newgrp docker

Step 7 — Enable Docker to start on boot

sudo systemctl enable docker

sudo systemctl enable containerd

Enable Docker to start on bootup

The Hidden Cost of Not Listening to Your Customers

Attention: Your Customers Are Talking — But Are You Listening?

Most businesses believe they understand their customers.

But here’s the problem: assumptions are expensive.

Customers rarely complain directly. Instead, they quietly leave, stop engaging, or choose a competitor who better understands their needs.

At the same time, employees often have valuable insights that never reach management because there’s no simple process to collect honest feedback.

Without clear feedback systems, businesses are left making decisions based on guesswork.

And guesswork costs money.

Get started for Free

Your Customers Are Talking — But Are You Listening?
Click to find out more

What are your business challenges?

1. Customer Satisfaction Is Hard to Measure

You may think your customers are happy, but unless you’re actively asking them, you don’t really know.

Negative experiences often go unnoticed until revenue starts dropping or online reviews appear.

2. Employee Feedback Gets Lost

Staff frequently identify operational problems before management does.

But if there’s no easy way to gather feedback anonymously and consistently, those insights disappear.

3. Decision-Making Becomes Reactive

Without real data, businesses often rely on opinions rather than evidence.

This can lead to:

  • Poor customer retention
  • Lower staff engagement
  • Inefficient processes
  • Missed opportunities
  • Wasted marketing spend

4. Surveys Feel Too Hard to Implement

Many businesses avoid feedback systems because they assume surveys are complicated, time-consuming, or expensive.

That misconception prevents companies from gaining valuable business intelligence.

This is where SurveyMonkey changes the game

SurveyMonkey makes it simple for businesses to collect meaningful feedback from customers, staff, and stakeholders without needing technical expertise.

Easy Survey Creation

SurveyMonkey provides professional templates that allow businesses to launch surveys in minutes.

Whether you want customer satisfaction surveys, employee engagement feedback, event feedback, or market research, the platform is designed to be simple and fast.

Real-Time Insights

Instead of guessing, businesses can make decisions based on actual data.

SurveyMonkey’s reporting tools help identify trends, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities quickly.

Better Customer Retention

When customers feel heard, loyalty increases.

Regular feedback helps businesses identify issues before they become larger problems.

Improved Staff Engagement

Employees are more likely to contribute honestly when they have a safe and structured way to provide feedback.

This often leads to improved morale, productivity, and operational improvements.

Scalable for Any Business Size

Whether you’re a small business, growing MSP, professional services company, or enterprise organisation, SurveyMonkey scales with your needs.

Enterprise plans offer HIPAA compliance, advanced security and admin features for increased governance and control

OpenClaw

OpenClaw

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a free, open-source autonomous AI agent that executes tasks via large language models (LLMs), using messaging platforms as its main user interface. It was developed by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger and first published in late 2025.

Rather than being another chatbot, OpenClaw delivers a true personal AI agent that runs locally on your machine, remembers context across conversations, and can actually do things — like read/write files, run commands, and browse the web.

Security considerations

Before installing, you should be aware of the documented risks:

OpenClaw runs locally but is designed to be adventurous — it can browse, run shell commands, read and write files, access email accounts, calendars, messaging plaforms and chain skills together without a human checking every step.  Misconfigured permissions, over-privileged skills, and a culture of “just give it access so it can help” mean the agent often sits at the center of your accounts, tokens, and documents, with very few guardrails.

Cisco’s AI security research team tested a third-party OpenClaw skill and found it performed data exfiltration and prompt injection without user awareness, noting that the skill repository lacked adequate vetting to prevent malicious submissions. One of OpenClaw’s own maintainers warned that “if you can’t understand how to run a command line, this is far too dangerous of a project for you to use safely.”

The Dutch data protection authority warned organizations not to deploy experimental agents like OpenClaw on systems that handle sensitive or regulated data, flagging the combination of privileged local access, immature security engineering, and a rapidly growing attack surface.

Recent releases have focused on an aggressive security lockdown — plugin installs get blocked if dangerous code is detected, shell execution environments get stripped of sensitive variables, and gateway auth no longer trusts localhost by default.

How does OpenClaw  work?

OpenClaw is a self-hosted gateway that connects your favorite chat apps — Discord, Google Chat, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, Signal, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more — to an AI assistant. You run a single Gateway process on your own machine or a server, and it becomes the bridge between your messaging apps and an always-available AI.

Key capabilities include:

  • Reading and writing files, running shell commands, and executing code in a secure sandbox — like having a smart coworker at a desk with a keyboard and mouse.
  • Browsing the web, filling out forms, and extracting data from any site.
  • A skills system: you can build your own repeatable workflows in Markdown or TypeScript, or use community-built plugins. OpenClaw can even write its own new skills just by you asking it to.
  • Persistent memory — it remembers your preferences and context across all conversations.

Can OpenClaw run on Windows?

Yes! OpenClaw works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Installation is done via npm:

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard –install-daemon

it requires Node.js 24 (recommended) or Node 22.16+.

OpenClaw Onboard then guides you step by step through setting up the gateway, workspace, channels, and skills.

You’ll also need an AI model API key.

Using Claude Pro/Max subscriptions violates Anthropic’s ToS — you must use API keys with pay-as-you-go pricing. Light use typically runs $10–30/month, typical use $30–70/month.

What can I use OpenClaw for?

Once installed, the core use cases for income generation include:

    • Prospect research — automatically search for businesses in a niche, scrape contact details from public websites, Google Maps, directories
    • Website auditing — analyse prospects’ websites for issues (SEO, broken links, missing pages) and generate personalised outreach based on what it finds — great if you offer web or IT services
    • Cold outreach — draft and send personalised emails at scale based on research it’s done
    • Follow-up sequences — monitor replies and send follow-ups automatically
    • CRM logging — pipe leads and notes into Notion, Airtable, or a spreadsheet automatically

Get Claude

Is it worth it for you specifically?

  • What do you sell or offer? OpenClaw is most powerful when there’s a clear repeatable workflow — e.g. “find local businesses without a modern website, audit them, send personalised outreach”
  • Do you have time to set it up properly? As we’ve seen today, it takes some effort to get running — probably another hour or two yet
  • Are you comfortable with API costs? Light use runs $10–30/month on top of your time investment

Honest verdict

If you have a service to sell and want to automate prospecting, it has genuine potential. But it’s still rough around the edges as we’ve experienced. If you just want to test lead generation without the technical overhead, tools like Apollo.io, Hunter.io, or even a well-prompted Claude conversation could get you results faster right now.

What kind of business or service are you looking to generate leads for? That’ll help me give you a more specific recommendation on whether OpenClaw is the right tool.

How do I install OpenClaw?

Due to the open access OpenClaw has to my computer, I’ve decided the best line of action is to install OpenClaw on a Virtual Machine. I’ve also decided to do this on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Step 1 — Create the VM

  1. Open VMware Workstation (or other software) and click Create a New Virtual Machine
  2. Choose Typical (recommended) → Next
  3. Select Installer disc image file (ISO) — download Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from ubuntu.com first, then point to it
  4. Set a username and password you’ll remember — this is your Linux login
  5. Name the VM something like openclaw-vm
  6. Disk size: 20GB minimum, keep “Split virtual disk into multiple files”
  7. Click Finish — VMware will boot and auto-install Ubuntu
Note: No need to accept the Ubuntu Pro offer.

Step 2 — Update Ubuntu & Install Node.js

Once Ubuntu is running, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal, then run these commands one at a time:

 # Update the system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Install curl
sudo apt install curl -y

# Install Node.js 24 via NVM (cleanest method)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

# Reload your shell so nvm is available (close and open a new terminal)
source ~/.bashrc

# Install Node 24
nvm install 24
nvm use 24

# Verify it worked
node –version

You should see v24.x.x or something like that.

Step 3 — Install OpenClaw

# Install Git
sudo apt install git -y

# Install OpenClaw
npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard –install-daemon

Ignore the message “xxx packages are looking for funding, run “npm fund” for details”.

The deprecation warnings are harmless, just older dependencies – ingore them.

The onboard wizard will walk you through:

  • Connecting an AI model API key (use Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.)
  • Choosing a messaging channel (Telegram is the easiest to start with)
  • Setting up your workspace

During the install, select these options:

“I understand this is personal-by-default and shared/multi-user use requires lock-down. Continue?” – Yes
Quickstart
“Model auth provider” – Anthropic (you will need to get an API key from Anthropic ($20 subscription will do for testing) – instruction later on this page, if needed
Default model set to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6
Add the key when requeted
Select Channel (Quickstart), currently set to Zalo (Personal Account) – change to Telegram or Discord (need to signup for accounts first)

Paste the token in when requested

If you get this error message we need to try again, or try another provider (in our case, Discord)
“It’s failed with error TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘trim’)”
If it still fails you will need to try a different version of OpenClaw.

Try this
openclaw –version
npm show openclaw version

If the second command returns a value higher than the first, run this:
npm install -g openclaw@latest

This should update OpenClaw to the latest.

Redo the install …

Search Provider – Skip for now, we can add later

Configure Skills – Skip

It should then complete (after a little wait)

Check the install by using
openclaw status

You should see a table populated with all the install options, IP addresses, etc.

You should also see information about Telegram, or Discord. We completed the install with Telegram.

The Telegram channel isn’t yet fully authorised yet. You need to pair yourself as an authorised user. Run this in the VM terminal:

openclaw pair

Send that pairing code as a message to your bot in Telegram.

Testing

To test, go to Telegram and open the bot we created.

Enter something like 
“You are my personal AI assistant. My name is Grant. I need your help automating business lead generation tasks.” and see how it responds.

It might come back with something like
“Hey Grant! I just came online – fresh session. no memory yet, so I’m starting from scratch”

That’s it — OpenClaw is fully working! After all that, you’ve got a running AI assistant responding to you via Telegram.

The “no memory yet” message is normal for a fresh session. Now let’s give it some context and get it oriented for lead generation. Send this:
“My name is Grant. I’m looking to use you to help generate business leads. I want you to research potential clients, audit their websites, and help me craft personalised outreach messages.”

Note: If you use the desktop app and not the phone app, Telegram can save files to your computer it generates. They may be saved in \downloads\Telegram Desktop

Step 4 — Network Isolation (Security)

Before you start connecting accounts, do this in VMware:

  1. Go to VM → Settings → Network Adapter
  2. Change from NAT to Host-only initially
  3. Only switch back to NAT when OpenClaw needs internet access — this limits blast radius if something goes wrong

Also, when the onboard wizard asks what to give OpenClaw access to, start minimal — don’t connect your main email or calendar until you’ve tested it with throwaway/dedicated accounts.

Step 5 — Dedicated Accounts for Lead Gen

Before connecting anything, create purpose-built accounts:

  • A new Gmail address purely for outreach (e.g. yourname.outreach@gmail.com)
  • A Telegram account on a secondary number (for controlling OpenClaw)
  • An Anthropic API key from console.anthropic.com (pay-as-you-go, not your Claude.ai subscription)

This keeps your personal and business accounts completely separate from the agent.

Signup to Anthropic

To get an API key, we need to signup to Anthropic.

Then:

  1. Go to console.anthropic.com on your host PC (not the VM)
  2. Sign in or create a free account
  3. Click API Keys in the left sidebar
  4. Click Create Key, give it a name like openclaw-vm
  5. Copy the key immediately — you won’t be able to see it again

You’ll also need to add a payment method and a small credit top-up (even $5 will last a while at light usage).

Anthropic signup

to get API key
Click here to signup

Signup to Telegram

To get the token, we need to signup to Telegram.

  1. Download Telegram on your phone from the App Store or Google Play
  2. Sign up with your phone number
  3. Once you’re in, we need to create a bot — search for @BotFather in Telegram
  4. Start a chat with BotFather and send the message /newbot
  5. It’ll ask for a name — call it something like MyClaw
  6. Then it’ll ask for a username — must end in bot, e.g. myclawbot
  7. BotFather will give you a token — copy that

Telegram information

to get token
Click here for Telegram

Signup to Discord

Signup for Discord, then:

Now you’ll need to create a Discord bot to use as your OpenClaw interface:

  1. Go to discord.com/developers/applications on your host PC
  2. Click New Application — name it something like MyClaw
  3. Click Bot in the left sidebar
  4. Click Reset Token then Copy the token that appears
  5. Scroll down and enable Message Content Intent — toggle it on
  6. Click Save Changes

You’ll need to add you bot to a Discord server first. Let’s create one:

  1. Open Discord on your phone or PC
  2. Click the + button in the left sidebar
  3. Choose Create My Own
  4. Choose For me and my friends
  5. Give it a name like OpenClaw
  6. Click Create

Then we need to invite your bot to it:

  1. Go back to discord.com/developers/applications
  2. Click your application
  3. Click OAuth2 in the left sidebar
  4. Under Scopes check bot
  5. Under Bot Permissions check Send Messages and Read Message History
  6. Copy the generated URL at the bottom and open it in your browser
  7. Select your new server and click Authorise

When you get to Discord channel access? Allowlist, Open, Disabled?
Choose AllowList – this restricts OpenClaw to only responding in specific channels you approve, which is the safest option.

On Discord, select “Developer” in at the bottom of the lefthand column.

Select “my server”/#general – where “my server” is the name you used when creating the server.
