So... forward her inbox to her personal gmail account? Keep your mail server as it was for you?
Or better yet, let her keep her gmail. Don’t force any lab instability on to others… especially email. One lost important email (even if not your fault) and you’ll never hear the end of it.
SMTP is stupidly forgiving. You're not going to magically lose singular emails.
Until the basement floods and the server goes offline for a few days; or botched upgrade that’s failing quietly; over zealous spam assassin configuration; etc etc
It sounded like they were trying to archive things from Gmail to their own server, so just cut the middleman jank out, and let the wife continue to use her Gmail as intended.
Stupid rspamd default config on my server blocked an email confirming an order from rayban I guess because it was the first time it saw an email from them? Couldn't even release it, which annoyed me greatly.
And it also put a confirmation from a hotel into quarantine because the resort didn't have a valid spf record. But at least I could release that one.
I ended up making it much more permissive as a result. But it was super annoying.
That's what backups are for.
See above
That's an assumption that you're using this specific product.
What's funny is you think that all of this can't happen to your stuff on Google's servers either for some reason... Say the wrong thing in a Youtube comment? Boom whole google profile banned. All your emails are gone too.
Or random software that interfaces poorly with each other (https://support.google.com/mail/thread/142335843/all-of-my-emails-have-disappeared-how-can-i-recover-them?hl=en)
I’m not saying you’re wrong — I’ve even upvoted your earlier comments because I’m generally in agreement; you’re an instance admin judging by your handle, go and check the vote history yourself lol.
I’m saying people shouldn’t force their janky unproven solo solution on to someone else who doesn’t have their level of distrust, and would just rather trust the multibillion multinational corporation, when all they want is something that’s been working fine for them for all they care.
Well... No offense... but duh? It's not like OP can migrate his spouses "Spouse@gmail.com" address to his mail server.
I was under the assumption (and I could be wrong) that OP owns the domain... And wants to run their mailboxes. If she wants to keep her own mailbox and use it, just forward it to her gmail if that's what she wants. I'm also not insinuating forcing someone into something.
I own my domain(you guessed correctly) and host my own emails. My spouse does use an inbox on my server(actually a few)... If she didn't want to anymore she can open a mailbox where-ever she wants... and I'll even forward whatever I get to her. That's it. Wouldn't stop me from running my own inbox on my own server. And I'm not forcing her to do anything at all. She can use it or not.
This is the mentality I have when I made the previous comments. Just forward her stuff off, she can go wherever she wants.
