Background

Email can be switched to MayFirst independent of the website. So, we'll do that whenever we have time.

  • Change MX records in gaia host

@joshua_davis please check your mail client to ensure the mailbox on MFPL is being populated properly. You should be able to add an additional connection to your mail client, keeping a connection to the old mailbox. Things can be then copied to MFPL via your client, or you can copy them to local storage before that connection is dropped.

Something has gone wrong, I'm afraid. I successfully connected my MFPL mailbox to Thunderbird and sent myself a test email from my old gmail account. Nothing came through on either Gaiahost or MFPL
(though I didn't receive a 'could not deliver' message.) So it looks like I'm not receiving emails to josh@geo.coop at all right now.

I'm not sure if it's related, but when I sign into my MFPL account with RoundCube, it shows my email address as josh-davis@mail.mayfirst.org, not josh@geo.coop. I'm guessing maybe I screwed up when I created the mailbox somehow? I followed the guide, selecting @geo.coop as the domain and connected it to my account (screen cap attached).

To make things even weirder, I can send an email from either the Gaiahost server of the MFPL server to my gmail account successfully...but if I try replying back to either one, the reply never shows up.

Any ideas?geo-email-addresses-screen-capmayfirst-roundcube-screen-cap

Hi @joshua_davis

Thanks for the update. I've double-checked things and used an external tool (mxtoolbox and things are looking good to me. I also added an alias so that I could test (agaric@geo.coop) and it seems to be forwarding properly, meaning mail systems are talking to the correct destination server.

Are you still having an issue?

Thanks,
Chris
