Changing Mail Routing
by Kelly Ford 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hello, Does anyone have thoughts on what I can try to diagnose a problem I’m having changing the destination for one of my email accounts. I currently have the mx record pointing to a Microsoft server because kelly(a)theideaplace.net<mailto:kelly@theideaplace.net> is the account I use with a Microsoft business subscription. I want to return the mail to the destination where the rest of that domain is hosted on Bluehost. I’ve lowed the priority of the MX record for Microsoft to 10 and added a new MX record at priority 0 pointing to mail.theideaplace.net<http://mail.theideaplace.net>. With these changes in place, email quits going to Microsoft but it is not showing up on the servers for Bluehost and is not being returned as a problematic address. I have no idea where the mail is actually going. If I delete the priority 0 MX record for mail.theideaplace.net<http://mail.theideaplace.net>, then my mail shows back up on the Microsoft Exchange server where the lower priority MX record points.

Thanks Billy, I didn't know Tucows had other domain resellers, I thought Hover was the only one. I'll start investigating this, my domains are set up for the year so I have time to figure out next steps. Thanks again.

I have no JAWS issues with the stuff I have through them. As much as they have gobbled up, I wonder if they intend on operating them as separate entities or truly merging them.

I was wondering if you by chance had been in touch with their accessibility team or had contacts on their accessibility team? Both of my personal domains are registered through Hover, which is owned by Tucows, and I cringe every year at renewal time because the control panel to manage a domain has so many basic accessibility errors its not even funny. I’ve thought several times about transferring my domains to someone else, the only reason I don’t is I only have to interact with Hover once a year to renew my domains, all my DNS records are stored on Microsoft servers, and managing DNS records in Office 365 is not a great user experience but at least its an accessible one. I’ve contacted Hover support over this and they can’t reregister me over the phone “to protect my security” but they did give me free registration for a year. I’m just wondering if those of you with Tucows contacts have a way to escalate this to the accessibility people? Thanks a lot.

Cloudflare DNS Provider and CAA records?
by David Mehler 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hello, If anyone is using cloudflare as there DNS provider and uses a CAA record please contact me? I atempted to do one on my other domain intending for only letsencrypt to be able to issue certificates for my domain, a dig check reveals many other providers that I didn't authorize. Obviously I did something wrong. Thanks. Dave. -- Sent from Mozilla Thunderbird 91.13.1
