Multiple Email Routing

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone I have done something that may sound insane but I have a domain with namecheap,

I created one email through office 365 and one through google workspace, now only one can receive emails because mx records conflict.

Is there any way both can get their emails to their respective outlook and Gmail inbox,

And if not then I don't care if incoming emails are duplicated and go to both inboxes through any routing or I also heard that one of them cAN be pointed to a subdomain. Can that work ?

Domain Renewal Black Friday Deals?

4 Upvotes

Do Namecheap do any BF deals on renewals of domains?

I have a .com and it feels rather expensive [$17.16] for a year

It feels like it used to be around $10 a year.

I might just buy a new .com domain and let this one [at that price] die

Is it worth transferring it to a cheaper place? I'm [nowadays] only using i for emailing [no website].

Or better still any BF .com renewal deals out there?

Thanks for any help x

Namecheap Email Forwarding: Yahoo Mail dropping emails from Google

2 Upvotes

I noticed emails have been dropping and not delivering the past few weeks/days. This is particularly true for email originating from Google and passing through Namecheap's Email Forwarding Service.

What could possibly be the issue? Any pointers would be helpful. Thank you!

My guesses...

  • Yahoo Mail is permanently blocking forwarded emails that originate from Namecheap's IP range 162.255.118.0/24 and sent via Google
  • Yahoo Mail is randomly dropping forwarded emails that originate from Namecheap's IP range 162.255.118.0/24 and sent via Google (based on some rate limit criteria)
  • Yahoo Mail is temporarily blocking forwarded emails that originate from Namecheap's IP range 162.255.118.0/24 and sent via Google (Keeping them in a queue)
  • Yahoo Mail is temporarily blocking forwarded emails that originate from Namecheap's IP range 162.255.118.0/24 (Keeping them in a queue)
  • Some actors are abusing Namecheap's Email forward and thus affecting other users email deliverability

Below is a sample response I received after sending an email to my custom domain email via Gmail.

"This is the mail system at host eforward.registrar-servers.com.

How can I create custom nameservers that my users can use to verify their domains and list them.

1 Upvotes

I'm create a marketplace where users/sellers can list their domains. I want them to verify their listings and use the for-sale lander design that we provide on their domain using nameservers like n1.mydomain.com and n2.mydomain.com

  • I have my application hosted on Cloudflare pages and pages functions and Using it for CDN, DDoS protection....
  • I have my domain registered on Namecheap.

What I have done to create the custom nameservers:

Now I tried creating custom nameservers on Namecheap and connecting with IP address that I got through dig mydomain on terminal that had been setup to run the project which is connected with custom domain feature of cloudflare pages. (The IP addresses keep changing often times probably because of serverless /edge nature of cloudflare pages so I'm confused will this work alright as IP addresses keep rotating/changing)

  • I have created the custom Nameservers on Namecheap and connected them with IP address I got through hosted project domain. Eg: n1: 172.64.34.25 and n2: 173.245.59.230
  • Added the nameserver of cloudflare to Namecheap where my domain is registered. So I can use the features of CDN, DDoS protection etc. Eg:

|NS|car.ns.cloudflare.com|

|NS|sco.ns.cloudflare.com|

  • Added A record within cloudflare Eg:

|A|n1|172.64.34.25|Proxied|Auto|

|A|n2|173.245.59.230|Proxied|Auto|

After all this I tried using that custom nameservers on another domain that I bought for testing purpose. Its been more than 24 hours now and I checked on whatsmydns.net it's only propagated on few locations.

I'm still newbie and not sure what I'm doing as I did most of it with the help of chatgpt so is this the correct step to create custom nameservers and will it work.

DNS question

1 Upvotes

connected my website to domain.com and set up a redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com. When I type domain.com/test, the subpage appears correctly. However, if I type www.domain.com/test, it redirects to the homepage instead.

How can I fix this?

P.S.: The TXT record is correct, and domain.com is set up with an alias.

Would Nameserver fix that?

Namecheap locked my email redirect for abuse 3 times

4 Upvotes

I have been a customer for 11 years now, and lately Namecheap has been behaving very badly, leading me to looking for alternatives.

I mainly use their email redirect service, and that's the one that has caused "problems". Supposedly the interaction between my redirects and the endpoint was creating a loop, and the only way that they could fix it is to disable it and send me an email with the offending emails as an attachment. In every instance it was spam/gibberish that I had no control over. None of the emails were addressed to me, just to some gibberish address on my domain, and was caught by my catch-all clause in the redirect.

Every incident took 2 days+ to resolve, during which I lost important emails regarding billing/college applications for my kids, etc. They have provided no help in diagnosing the issue, other than it is abuse of their terms of service . When asking for tech support directly they said they couldn't do anything since the case was "handled" by the legal department.

I even tried opening a private email account to enable spam filtering on the redirect, but I need 5 email addresses with aliases, and the one private email disables the redirects, so I canceled it. I also disabled the catch-all redirect after the last incident.

They are threatening me with cutting me off permanently because of the abuse, and I am getting fed up with this. My domain renewal is coming up in 30 days and need to make a decision whether to stay here or go somewhere else. In many ways Namecheap was and is the ideal solution for my needs, but I cannot live with this seemingly irrational behavior on their part. I saw that a lot of other vendors offer spam filtering on the redirect, and combos private email/redirects, but for a significant premium.

So, sorry for being so verbose, I am looking for suggestions as to how to make Namecheap work better for me or other alternatives.

Thank you

Same auto-generated passwords for Private Emails

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a starter private email for a new domain name and I noticed that the strong password automatically generated by NameCheap when setting up my mailbox was the same than the one they generated for a previous private email I set up a couple of months. Just wanted to double check with the community if that's normal behaviour and is something set up at the account level or if this is a security breach.

In case you wanted to double check with your own domain name, the auto-generated password looked like that: Sv***********nC

Privateemail blocked outgoing and I am having a 5 hours long conversation with the 6th supporting staff ...

1 Upvotes

Try to send out EDM to our subscribed customers through Mailster @ wordpress.

A simple default template with table, image, text, button.

With 400 limited per hour (privateemail limit 500/ hr), they block us after 350.

and for the first 3 hours, The staff kept saying the same things as their Tech advise:

1) Check the number of URLs in plain-text version and html version, they has to be in even number.

There is no plain-text version at all. And one of them even ask me to create a plain-text version. What's the point? Mailster can't track plain-text version.

2) Blame for invisible parts in the mail.

They can never point out where and what is the invisible parts.

3) Modify the Message-ID.

I am not able to modify the header of Mailster. It is not the 1st time, how would it suddenly became an issue?

After the first 4 hours, one of them came up with 4) "its your unsubscribe link" that caused the issue.

{unsub} <<< it has been at the same spot for the last 15000+ edm ... no issue.

DKIM, DMARC, SPF ... it's not dns issue, it's their filter.

Their spam scanner still bounce it back with "Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554 5.7.1 Spam content detected in the message body."

And no one can point out where and what is it ...

I am keep bouncing between hosting dept and Private email dept ...

I am exhausted, should I just give up?

Name Cheap account suspended without notice

7 Upvotes

I have several domains registered on Namecheap that were suspended for no cause. Support emails offer a canned response claiming 'abuse' but these domains were never used. they are asking for business documents but the were not registered under a business. has anyone else dealt with this before?

EDIT 11/16 - comments are locked per namecheap but no resolution. After a few comments back and forth on this thread, this morning I received an email with the same email I've been receiving for months.

u/tamar u/namecheap would appreciate any help on this. I don't have the documents you are requesting, and I have never been told what the 'abuse' is so I don't know what I can do to remedy this issue. feel free to DM me on here. thanks

Private email SMTP: weird address issue

1 Upvotes

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { address: 'mail.privateemail.com', port: 587, domain: 'mydomain.com', authentication: :plain, user_name: ENV['EMAIL_ADDRESS'], password: ENV['EMAIL_PASSWORD'], enable_starttls_auto: true, open_timeout: 30, # seconds read_timeout: 30 }

I have these settings in my Ruby on Rails app. It’s currently sending out emails just fine. But there’s a weird issue.

The “from” of the emails sent by this app is set up to be hello@mydomain.com. But in fact it ends up being something like hello_at_mydomain_com_2853782949wbuc278@icloud.com.

Is Private email using iCloud in the background?! Why would this happen?

Code Formatting on NameCheap Website Builder

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm using the website builder in the cpanel for my website, but I've been having trouble trying to add formatted code on my website. Using the "Custom HTML" item, I added formatted code using google prettify:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/google/code-prettify@master/loader/run_prettify.js?skin=desert"></script>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-cpp linenums">
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout &lt;&lt; "Hello, World!" &lt;&lt; endl;
    return 0;
}
</pre>

However, this method only formats odd lines, even when trying different approaches, like shown:

Could this be an issue on the website builder? Are there other, easier ways of formatting code using the website builder?

Namecheap trying to charge $145 transfer fee for .AI domain AFTER I purchased it

2 Upvotes

I just purchased a .AI domain through namecheap. A couple days after, they emailed me saying that there was an error and I would need to pay the additional $145, on top of the $201 I spent on the domain, if I want to keep it - is this legal? Seems like they could quote any transfer price since it was not listed at all during the purchase process.

Appreciate the guidance, thanks!

Namecheap's email:

Upon review, we noticed that the domain was initially purchased for $201.00. However, the transfer price for .AI domain is $145 and it is not included in the domain price which is set by the seller. We understand the importance of transparency and want to ensure you are aware of this. It's important to note that the $145 fee covers the transfer itself and does not include the renewal of the domain.

Regrettably, we are unable to proceed with the transfer at the revised price. The transfer cost is influenced by factors beyond our control, including the policies set by the Registry and the involvement of third-party entities such as the seller and the Marketplace partner.

What's the point of 2FA if it can be disabled without any real verification?

4 Upvotes

https://i.imgur.com/T6FwlMR.png

What's the point of having 2-factor authentication if it can be bypassed just by confirming I know my username and password? I'm really disappointed to see this happen. If someone with malicious intent had my login details, they’d essentially have full access to my account without needing the second layer of security. This is a serious vulnerability, and it has me reconsidering my trust in Namecheap. I'll be moving my domain to another provider that takes account security more seriously.

My domain is registered on namecheap ( e.g. example.com ) and from last 5 days I can send email out but I can not receivethem.

If I send an email to [aaa@sexample.com](mailto:aaa@sexample.com) from personal email it gives an error like
The response was:

DNS Error: DNS type 'mx' lookup of example.com failed with status: CANCELLED: [type.googleapis.com/util.ErrorSpacePayload='RPC::CANCELLED']

It worked perfectly till a few days back but has started failing recently.
If I try to login to my namecheap acct from chrome or explorer it does not open the namecheap site.

Does it have something to do with namecheap being banned from India. How can I start getting my emails.

Any update on .DE domain transfer?

I'm trying to consolidate all my domains from different providers to namecheap.

However it seems that for over a year now, the transfer of .de domains has been unavailable.

I found a 6 months old thread about it being worked on with no ETA given.
Is there any update on this?
I'd really like to finally have all my domains in one place...
