socceronly 3,751 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I tried to set up our domain for email, but ran into some problems in getting it to work. Not sure what the issue was Looking for someone with more nerd skills to set this up. We now have a great deal of trouble contacting people, so I am setting up a newsletter to go out regularly. In order to do this we need to use something like Contstant Contact or a similar service with a properly set up domain, otherwise almost nothing gets through. There is some kind of technical challenge here involving where the site is hosted, domain registrar, mx records, constant contact and Google. I would like to have the mailing list set up for the October 16th game. Anyone out there nerd savvy enough to solve this? It should be rather simple to set up, but I am not sure what the issue is here. Thanks JM Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks JM I'm not to familiar with Constant Contact, but they do have a community that could probably help you out better than we could. https://community.constantcontact.com Hope this helps.

socceronly 3,751 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 I've already had a go at it. Need someone who knows more about it. CC isn't the problem, it's the set up of the mx records from the registrar with a domain pointed to a cloud hosting service while trying to use say a Gmail business account.

rob.notenboom 2,243 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I don’t know the first thing about this. But I passed on your question and was told that it would be worth looking into MailChimp. Link to post Share on other sites

Those are easy to use with working email. We need email set up such that it gets passed the new rigorous email rules. You can send email through any service from any email.... But you will just be paying to send them to Oblivion. Link to post Share on other sites

Dub Narcotic 569 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I may be able to help but I'm out of the country right away and won't be back until early October. I'll try and remember to check back when I get back into town. socceronly 1 Link to post Share on other sites
