Domain split in the making???

swirven · 27 Oct 2003, 11:41 AM

I just noticed on the settings page that the "Home Domain" button, where you can choose your domain is gone. This is a good sign to me the domain split is really fixing to happen.

It just asked me for the my whole e-mail address rather than just the userid when logging in. Looks like domain split is here..

I'm still getting mail at name@alias.otherdomain.tld as well as name@alias.domain.tld

Things are in progress. Give us a few more hours, and we'll post an update...

The Pick Domain screen will come back one day...

We've got a bit stuck, so it's not going to happen today for email addresses... We'll have a think about this tomorrow and try to come up with a plan. Sorry!

It's still Sun here so you’re still on time. In fact you have many hours before Mon morning gets here.

All my friends have my emailadress as: accountamepascoa@fastmail.fm. However apparently I once signed up with accountnamepascoa@xsmail.com. If I try to sign up now I get this message:

You are trying to login to your account accountamepascoa@xsmail.com. Due to the forthcoming "domain split", you can no longer login the current way you are. You have two options:

Does this mean my fastmail.fm account will in time stop working?!! How do I change my loginaccoutn to @fastmail.fm?

HELP!

I see that the behaviour of X-Resolved-to has changed to show the home-domain rather than the original recipient domain. It is now not possible to reliably filter "wrong-domain" spam

Ultimately this is probably inevitable, but was it neccessary to do it before mail delivery stops delivering on all domains. Or is that imminent?

As the login screen told you, you have two options;

a. direct your browser to www.xsmail.com and then login with your username and password or
b. direct your browser to www.fastmail.fm and then login with your entire email address (you@xsmail.com) and your password.

Until yesterday there was an option to change your home domain...so you could have changed your account from you@xsmail to you@fastmail but now the option is unavailable. I suggest you follow either step a or b and after the split is complete, contact support if you still want your home domain changed.

Dear s a,

I tried "a" less than an hour ago. In fact, I've been logging in at www.myfastmail.com for several weeks, specifically because that was how it was supposed to work after the domain split. However, I received the same message pascoa did, and still had to enter my full e-mail address instead of my username.

Best wishes,
David P.

Are you sure that's you're chosen domain? Look in Options/Account Status. That should show the home domain FM is using.

Just curious, after domain split, homedomain cannot be changed again at will? So maybe to change it is basically to change the username, so just use the "Rename/Consolidate" option?

I don't need to change homedomain again, just curious.

P.S. Thanks DrS for the heads-up about X-Resolved-to change. Hopefully it'll be moot soon...

Jeremy Howard · 28 Oct 2003, 12:18 PM

Rob and I think that we can have this done this week. We've worked out how to sort out the problems we found yesterday.

nosrg · 28 Oct 2003, 02:00 PM

Any eta on when we can switch home domains again?
