I was working on a small webdev company. One day I had to update DNS records from X to Y because of Z (don't remember exact reasons) - turned out that my change broke setup for company e-mails (not ours, our clients) and they were offline for like half of the day until someone figured out what exactly happened.
Later it become a meme in that company, that every webdev need to break client's e-mails at least once, because it happened to other devs 2 or 3 times :)
- SturgeonsLaw 5y agoFrom the perspective of an MSP, this happens incredibly often. Whenever a client calls in about their email not working, the first thing we check is their MX records. Often someone has just changed the nameservers to the ones recommended by the host, which only contain the A records for the new web server. It's a meme in our company that web devs break client's emails as well. ;)
