Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

Officer emails

6 years 4 months ago

Our club has our own domain... e.g. princetontoastmasters.org

Each officer has an email, e.g. president@princetontoastmasters.org.. now set up as just an alias, i.e. if someone emails president, it goes to that president's forwarding personal email acount... an email sent to: president@princetontoastmasters.org will just be auto fwd to joe.smith@gmail.com. president@princetontoastmasters.org doesn't have an inbox.

I have set up Google G-Suite and our club got approved as a non profit, which gives us free access to full suite of G-suite functions, including emails.

Is there anyway we can use the officer emails as real email.. i.e. host the president@princetontoastmasters.org inside gmail using g-suite... how best to set it up thanks

You could certainly change the MX and mail A records in your custom domain DNS to route mail somewhere else, but you will find that things get really messy, complicated, and wierd very quickly. (Generally not guaranteed to work.) Generally speaking, if the FTH code detects you are using a custom domain, internally it will expect that domain to be available for the FTH provided email addresses, and handle email accordingly. All the email handling that FTH provides is tightly integrated with the design of the system. It is not really part of the design philosophy for the officer email addresses to be anything other than forwarding email addresses.
