email address for gledden-st-eggs #3

Closed monkeypants closed 7 years ago

monkeypants commented 7 years ago

before we can do #2, we need an email address for gledden-st-eggs.

The gledden-st-eggs manager will need access to this email, and must check it often.

I think when the other pocketmoneyindustries.com email addresses are working, that maybe we should make a gledden-st-eggs@pocketmoneyindustries.com account. What do you think @yaya-galah?

OK, after some negative feedback about redirecting pocketmoneyindustries.com email to the existing gmail.com service, we are waiting for DNS changes to propagate for a migadu.com email hosting solution

gledden-st-eggs@ is an alias for your and my personal email addresses there @yaya-galah, so any email to that name goes to both of us.

also, there are wildcard addresses too. This means email "from-XXX@" will go to your personal address (for any value of XXX, it's a "wildcard variable"). So if you give from-school@pocketmoneyindustries.com to your school, when they send email to that address it will get to you. And if you get email from someone else using that address, you will know your school they got your email address from your school. This way, when you need to put an email into a signup form on a web site or something, you can put from-thewebsitedomain.com@, and if you get spam on that address later you can block it.
