Not sure if this is the best thread for this question but it seems to fit so I'm going to ask. I get a wordfence report once a week, and for the past couple of weeks I've had several attempts from people trying to login to my wordpress website with my admin user account login name (it is not admin). Not sure how they figured it out, but its a little disconcerting. It isn't a ton of login attempts, like maybe 10 a week, but still, I don't like to see it. Is this something I should actually be worried about? I do have 2 factor turned on to login, so if they somehow get the password they still shouldn't be able to get in. I don't think I can change the user name, though if I had to I suppose I could create a different user account and just make that one the admin. Thoughts?

Wordpress is one of those apps that you have to be on top of, you have to keep up with updates and you need to make sure the updates does not cause things to break. just make sure your password is unique compared to other sites, everyone knows our password these days.

Rawrbomb posted:Yeah, those entries should be em6847.domain.org without the secondary hostname. The sender auth process should go into a "validated" state, once you get it setup. Yeah, I had not realized the DNS appended the domain on them. Long story short, got them updated and it's all good! Thanks everyone!

PleasantDilemma posted:I've heard fastmail is good for hosting email and they aren't one of the big clouds. Today I was actually trying to sign up for icloud email but the app kept giving me an error. They support custom domain and the price looks really good. I'm looking to switch off runbox.com since I've had some delivery issues. I am looking to move my custom domain email from google (had it since 2009 in the free plan but for more than a year now google just got greedy and they're asking tons of money. I'm just about to finish my grace period this month with them.) I saw in the other replies information about setting up cloudflare with email forwarding. How do you send email from that email address then? Second question, which is why I quoted above post: I researched fastmail a bit and people are saying good things about them. Their custom domain plan is significantly cheaper than google and microsoft. Are there any problems that people have experienced with them? Other than fastmail or that cloudflare solution is there nothing out there but to go give money to google or microsoft? I just need 3 users.

The free gapps accounts got to stay free after too many people complained. Check to see if you really need to do this first. You might need to contact support to get it to stick around as I recall I had to opt into keeping free gapps but that is probably a lot less effort and cheaper than migrating.

It's been a year or two since they switched on to full greed mode, hopefully there wasn't a period when one could keep their free account.

How do you send email from that email address then? 1 - I use CF to forward to Gmail currently and you just setup your forwarded email addresses in Gmail as 'send as' accounts so you can choose whether you're sending from a custom email or your Gmail or whatever. Seems to work fine for me. It validates each email you add this way with an auth email sent to that address to make sure you control it. It's all free and works fine for my needs.

Their custom domain plan is significantly cheaper than google and microsoft. Are there any problems that people have experienced with them? Other than fastmail or that cloudflare solution is there nothing out there but to go give money to google or microsoft? I've been using Fastmail for over 10 years for about 20/30 users and they've always been absolutely fine. Maybe a couple of brief outages in all that time. No deliverability issues. You don't pay anything for custom domains - just add them to your account and then point the domain at the fastmail nameservers. They make you create a separate password to use for IMAP compared to webmail which is slightly annoying, but no big deal. The price is reasonable but if you exceed the 30gb tier there's a big jump to the much more expensive 200gb tier, so keep that in mind if your mailboxes are large. I actually just started slowly moving to https://www.infomaniak.com/en/hosting/service-mail They're well established, have a really good admin interface, and it's incredibly cheap if you just want the email service.

Another question about switching email providers. Is there a tool to copy my existing emails to a new host? IMAP to IMAP? Google brings up guides that say my mail will stay in my client which is true, but is like to consolidate on one server.

I am goddamn livid at only finding this out now, because they've discontinued the back-to-free option as of last August and have now raised prices again. It's simply not worth the base minimum of $33ish a month.

Google brings up guides that say my mail will stay in my client which is true, but is like to consolidate on one server. Like RoboBoogie said, Imapsync is probably what you want. The dev has an online version here: https://imapsync.lamiral.info/X/ When you switch DNS MX records to a new email provider there's a brief window (although it can last up to 24 hours) where emails can either end up in the new or old mailbox. If you run Imapsync periodically throughout this window then you can make sure any stray emails end up in the new location.

Sorry for the late reply but I don't think you need to send via another SMTP service for these send as email, I don't have any of that configured.
