Blog - Email trouble
Email trouble
Last night I had some email trouble, so if anyone emailed between 20:00 and 2:00, the email probably bounced and got lost. When in doubt, please resend
Everything is now back to normal, it seems.
What happened is that I transferred registrars for this domain name, to something cheaper, and once the transfer kicked in they didn't keep my original name server settings! They set the name servers to their own, effectively preventing email from arriving to destination, and eventually maybe also making my web site become unaccessible.
I'm glad my friend Nick forwarded me a bounce error to another address, which made me realize that I hadn't been receiving anything for a few hours. Then I found the culprit, switched back the name server settings, but it again took about an hour for the change to complete. Whew!
I'll have to make sure somehow that this doesn't happen next time I transfer a domain.
On a lighter note, fun posts about the weekend coming soon!!
