This Saturday, buydomains.com stopped forwarding my email to the right place. It happened as soon as I changed my nameservers from vivhost.net to siteground.com. I assumed, incorrectly, that only web service was being changed. The last time I changed nameservers, this was not a problem.
I had no warning, and 3 days worth of email went up in smoke due to this (unless siteground is reasonable about storing bounced messages for a few days). To fix it, the buydomains support guy told me to check some cryptic box that means email service remains with the registrar (i.e. buydomains).
Since this change takes time to propagate, I went to siteground and added forwarding for my most important addresses.
To be fair, my daily Gmail Alerts was complaining about bounces. I should have taken it as a warning.
Here's the header:( Read more... )
I don't want to trust GMail with all my records, so I should set up multiple-forwarding to a different service too, e.g. YahooMail.
