On E-Mail
What follows is a discussion of my totally out-of-control e-mail situation. It will almost certainly not be up to the caliber of my normal posts, which have been described as riveting.
So my e-mail situation is totally out-of-control. I currently have about six e-mail addresses that I use, all of which are forwarded to my gmail account because gmail has the best web interface of them all. I don't really know why I maintain so many different e-mail accounts, but since I have them all forwarded to the same place it hasn't been much of a chore to keep up with them for some time.
The most heavily used of my e-mail accounts is my @sunflower.com address. This is because the sunflower mail server supports plussed mailing. This means that you can append "+anything" between the account name and the @ symbol, and it still gets delivered properly. For example, if my e-mail account were [account]@sunflower.com, you could send a message to [account]+whatever@sunflower.com and it would still be delivered. This can be useful because you can tag the e-mail address you provide when you register for websites with a unique marker to help you filter out any spam that you receive as a result. Basically, it prevents you from having to set up dummy e-mail accounts.
Well, a further complication is that I no longer live in Lawrence, so I don't have active Sunflower cable service. Until very recently, my e-mail address was tied to my old roommate's account, since he still worked at Sunflower at the time. When he quit, however, the account passed to his new roommate's name. The result of this is that I lost administrative access to my e-mail account when that happened because I don't know what the cable account password changed to.
And that brings us to the true dilemma: I stopped receiving most of the e-mail that was sent to my Sunflower account. I sort of sat on this for a few days because I was hoping that it would just work itself out. I really didn't want to call Sunflower for support, because my name's not on the account.
However, I noticed tonight that e-mail sent to my @sunflower.com address wasn't being forwarded to my gmail account, but to a third address that is itself forwarded to my gmail account. So I've realized it's actually the third address that's causing the grief, but I have no way to change where the sunflower account gets forwarded to. In my attempts to figure out what's causing the issues with the problem account I accidentally deleted it, and now all of my mail is just bouncing. How am I supposed to know when I get myspace messages without my mail notifications?!?
After restoring the e-mail address at my domain, I don't know what to do next. Mail that is supposedly forwarded from my domain isn't arriving at my gmail account, but I do see mail arriving at my domain. Is it getting forwarded at all? I've tried adding postmaster and abuse addresses because I read that some domains refuse e-mail if you don't have them? It's never come up before, but I'm pretty much willing to try anything to duct tape my precarious situation back together so I can get some sleep.
