Enhanced isn't domain hosting, it's domain aliasing, which is a big difference.
- hga 13y agoThere may be some distinction here I'm missing. In addition to this domain aliasing feature I haven't tried out, Fastmail.com is hosting my domain. Right now it's got their standard settings: ancell-ent.com Type=MX TTL=3600 STANDARD_MX (standard email - e.g. user@ancell-ent.com) *.ancell-ent.com Type=MX TTL=3600 STANDARD_MX (subdomain addressed email - e.g. user@mail.ancell-ent.com) ancell-ent.com Type=A TTL=3600 STANDARD_WEB (main website - http://ancell-ent.com/) *.ancell-ent.com Type=A TTL=3600 STANDARD_WEB (subdomain websites - including http://www.ancell-ent.com/) mail.ancell-ent.com Type=A TTL=3600 STANDARD_MAIL (webmail login - http://mail.ancell-ent.com/) ancell-ent.com Type=CSV TTL=3600 CSV_DENY_ALL (no email sending machines identify as ancell-ent.com) ancell-ent.com Type=JABBER TTL=3600 STANDARD_JABBER (standard chat server - chat.messagingengine.com) wap.ancell-ent.com Type=A TTL=3600 STANDARD_WAP (cellphone WAP service - http://wap.ancell-ent.com/) ancell-ent.com Type=DKIM TTL=3600 STANDARD_DKIM (dkim key mesmtp._domainkey.ancell-ent.com) ancell-ent.com Type=AUTOCONFIG TTL=3600 STANDARD_AUTOCONFIG (mail autoconfig) But there's also a "Custom DNS - control all records published for the domain" feature I haven't tried out yet, since I don't at this time have anything else for my domain publicly accessible. Ah, maybe you're referring to how this translates to Fastmail mailboxes. Specifically a "virtual domain" concept where aliases are established, and I have both the wildcard * and hga at my domain aliased to hga at fastmail dot fm? If the above is what you're trying to do, how is it user unfriendly? If not, out of curiosity and maybe a need to do this myself in the future, what are you desiring to do?
- Touche 13y agoIt's user unfriendly because the @fastmail.com is your actual email address. It's user unfriendly because you have to know that. It's user unfriendly because if you enter settings incorrectly into your mail app, you'll be sending email as @fastmail.com.
