I received a requirement and I'm totally lost, I hope some1 can light me.
This is my scenario:
The client bought a domain to google app, let's assume abc.com, I thought he also received a server space but he didn't apparently he only has the domain for mail etc (I don't get exactly how google apps works).
Now, this client needs a website (wordpress based) in that domain, so basically my boss will store the page on his server (JustHost) and with an add on, will make the domain point to that direction. So at end of the day people will be able to reach abc.com and the link will remain as it is.
I went into the google app, and I cannot find a settings or whatever that allow me to redirect the domain.
Does anyone know how does it works? I would appreciated any kind of help...
Kind Regards.
Go to Google Apps Page
Click Sign in (top right)
Enter customer's domain name
Change dropdown to Domain Management
Click go
Enter login details for apps administrator account.
Click Domain settings
Then click Domain names
I'm pretty sure you'll find your way from there. Shout if you're still stuck.
Justhost is annoying coz they block port 465 and 567 which gmail uses to send mail.
This means his wordpress can only send mail via justhost and not his google apps email account. As a result when people receive an email from him it will show as from username#justhost.com and his customers will probably think it is a scam email.
When you see this problem go to just host help desk and make a complaint, hopefully if they get enough complaints from their customers they will open up port 465 for us and then we can use our gmail accounts as the SMTP server.

I have recently developed a website for a client and don't have much experience working with emails. I have set up and configured an info#ourdomain.com email address and can access it through our web hosting service.
However I want to be able to get my client to log into the email so they can begin working with it, ideally with Windows mail.
This is the information I have been given by the host (I changed all the information for security).
Information Provided
Would be great if I could get a step by step on what options to choose, account type, and where to put the certain port numbers etc.
Thanks in advance
One of my friends got a job offer from an email like
name#somedomain.com. When opening the domain one can easily recognise that its parked.
I checked with Who.Is and found its registered by register.com.
Verifying the email at http://www.infobyip.com/verifyemailaccount.php
says the email exists.
So is it possible to send and receive emails from a parked domain?
thank you
Normally a parked website does mean no services, however, it is possible that lets say the company hasnt paid, so the domain has gone into parked, but all their services are still setup to email.. Because their server still accepts the domain, theres every chance the mail would get through.
However - its not a good sign for an employee that your future employer didnt pay up for their hosting..
Yes it's absolutely possible to send email from parked domains. Parking means it's registered but the user hasn't done anything/much with it. Depending on if it's a register-level park or a host-level park a domain could have some or all services and still appear "parked" when visiting through the web.
In many cases when you register a domain with a company that provides hosting & registration - the domain will appear with a parking style web page - even though it's up and running and paid for. Until the user uploads their website that page will stay (sometimes it can be years! Because the supply of good domains is getting limited people will claim the domain as soon as they have an idea taking weeks, months, years to release the service).
All that said... it's tough to take a potential employer seriously if they don't even have an information page loaded instead of the host default parked page.
According to Wikipedia, "Domain parking is the registration of an Internet domain name without using it for services such as e-mail or a website i.e. without placing any content on the domain" -- so, if a domain is truly parked, it cannot be used for email.
The problem is -
" I have to design one website, which will contain number of blocks. Each block will refer to different email client. That means, a user of this site can see his/her all mail clients in one one blocks."
The user will provide his/her existing mail clients information (Username and Password) at the time of registering into this site.
So, when user comes to the site he will login by providing username and password of this site (and not with user name or password of any of his mail clients) and he will see his home page containing all his existing mail clients opened directly in one one block (without logging in to any of the mail client).
Basically, this website will help the user to use all mail clients in one page.
Will anybody suggest how to do this task ?
It will be better if working codes will be provided.
This sounds quite difficult - you will need to make a good web mail client, and it is very hard to compete with the existing services in this area. For instance, it would be hard to make a webmail client as good as the one gmail has.
If you can make a good webmail client, the rest is quite easy - the user would give login details for POP/IMAP services for each of their email services, and then you could make your server log in to each of them and pull back any mail to display.
It may be easier for you to purchase existing webmail client software, and then wire it up to a database containing user login details to make the website you require.
I've used this component in the past and may help with sending and reading emails/attachement from a variety of sources.

I am helping a friend set up a website at Drupal Gardens. The domain is www.fromtheheartyoga.com. Previously the site was hosted at Modwest. While at Modwest I set them up with gmail/Google Apps for business (free version), so they could use the #fromtheheartyoga.com emails with gmail.
A few days ago I moved hosting from Modwest to Drupal Gardens. In order to get the domain working correctly I had to set up a CNAME record at DirectNIC (the domain provider) to point the domain "www.fromtheheartyoga.com" at the Drupal Garden site "fthy.drupalgardens.com". In order to do this I had to upgrade the DirectNIC account to a hosted account.
When I created the CNAME record, email stopped working. I later went in and updated the MX records at DirectNIC with all of the relevant Google Mail MX information. Email still didn't work. DirectNIC sait it could take as long as 48 hour for these changes to propagate. Thing is, when I updated the CNAME record, the domain began pointing to the new hosting environment almost immediately. Not so with the email.
That was Friday. As of today, none of the email addresses using the #fromtheheartyoga.com (gmail) have received any email. Every email I send from another account disappears into the internet. For the emails I send from my personal gmail account, I occasionally get a transfer update which includes, among other things the note that "The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect".
I can still send from the #fromtheheartyoga gmail account. Replies to emails sent from there also disappear.
I have had no luck with Google searches, unless the answer is right in front of me and I simply don't know enough about the issue to recognize it. Likewise here at StackOverflow. Any insights would be greatly appreciated

For compatibility reasons, you can't put a CNAME in the root domain; doing so will break email.
Use an A record instead.
Just make an A record for fromtheheartofyoga.com. The old BIND4 CNAME for a domain directive really wasn't right even back then. It's just more records to edit should you move again, who cares.
Edit to add: I don't know whether you get a definite IP address with your hosting service, you would have to know that for this to work.

Does anyone know of a free, anonymous smtp service? I want to give users of my app the ability to occasionally send me an anon email without having to configure a server of enter their email account. I guess I could setup a gmail account for this purpose and embed the credentials in the app but I hope it won't be necessary. In case it sways your answer, this is a thick client (.NET Console) app.
I think that what you're asking for is called an open relay.
If there were such a thing, wouldn't it immediately be swamped by spammers?
You might be better off setting up some kind of commenting tool on your website, that sends you an email with the contents of whatever form the user submits. Then if you go that far, it shouldn't be difficult to add a form to your app that automatically makes the full HTTP request (transparent to the user, in the background).
If you run your own mail server, you can simply configure the app to deliver mail directly to it. Many web hosting companies also provide mail hosting if you don't want to run it on your own hardware. Gmail via Google Apps for your domain might be an option. It's free. But their anti-spam measures might prevent delivery. Better to have a server you can control, I think. Bottom line, though, is you don't need an anonymous SMTP relay server to get the job done.
