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.

DNS Direction - what is domain.ext mean?

Hi,

I've read the instructions to be able to create a members@adelaidecity.org.au group email instead of the FreeToastHost toastmasters email address.

In the instructions it says to ask for a DNS Redirection from the Domain supplier as follows:

Record Type Entry IP Address/URL

A domain.ext 50.19.253.65
A www.domain.ext 50.19.253.65
A mail.domain.ext 50.19.253.65
MX 10 mail.domain.ext

Does the domain.ext refer to the toastmaster website address, e.g. 1078222@toastmastersclubs.org or does it refer to domain bought name, e.g. adelaidecity.org.au

The reason why I ask is because I used our bought domain name for domain.ext and the domain support people replied saying they can't apply these rules because there is already an existing direction to the 1078222@toastmastersclub.org address.

I'm confused - could someone please help?

The domain support people are giving you bad information.

Review viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=adelaidecity.org.au

Replace domain.ext in the docs w/ adelaidecity.org.au for your purposes.

Modify your DNS records as follows:

Delete the following A record:
A adelaidecity.org.au 119.81.10.57

Add the following A records:
A adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65
A www.adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65
A mail.adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65

Thank you for your help. I sent the request as above to the domain provider. I added the custom domain name in the admin settings. I've now tried to create a members@adelaidecity.org.au email but this is the response I received...

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

members@adelaidecity.org.au

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain adelaidecity.org.au by mail.adelaidecity.org.au. [50.19.253.65].

The error that the other server returned was:
550 5.7.1 <members@adelaidecity.org.au>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.

The following A record must still be added to route email through our server:

A mail.adelaidecity.org.au 50.19.253.65

On a positive note, www.adelaidecity.org.au can now be navigated to in your browser... so some progress. ;)
