VP Membership email alias not getting forwarded

My club is 654714

we are trying to send emails to vpm-654714@toastmastersclubs.org

but the emails aren’t getting forwarded to our vp membership’s actual email.  We’ve checked the junk folder and it isn’t there either.

here is more information:
I actually cc the president, vpe, vpm, treasurer, and admin using the alias.  And I can confirm that the president gets the email.  But admin and vpm do not.  I’m uncertain if vpe or treasurer are getting them.


I suspect the issue started after transitioning from fth3 to fth4

I can seee the emails going through the server. Have him check his spam box, and whitelist server@toastmastersclubs.org and agenda@toastmasgtersclubs.org

 

It also looks like he is sending email from himself to himself through FTH gmail does not like that use another email from address to send to vpm-654714@toastmastersclubs.org

I sent an email to the vpm alias and confirmed with him that he received it. Then he tried to reply back from the same email. Your image shows the RE but I never got the reply email even though he sent it.

It isn’t in my junk mail.

Are the email aliases designed to be one-way only? Is that why it’s failing on the reply email?

Yes the email aliases are for inbound email.

How did you send the email? 

I started by using my personal email to compose a message to the vpm. The vpm got a message from server@toastmastersclubs.org on his email on file.

Then he replied back. My expectation was for the email to go to my personal inbox, but instead, when he did a reply, it auto filled the “to” field with the vpm alias. Which is why it looks like he replied to himself which resulted in me not getting the reply.

Seems like a bug to me. This means if a guest emails us through the alias, we can’t email them back since we wouldn’t know the guest email and it defaults to emailing the alias.
