Migration Steps

MXRoute

Moving services to MXRoute

Settings

Testing

DNS

  • Edit your zone. In my case, I migrated to CloudFlare, which required updating



Old Notes

DNS

  • DomainPeople - ran into some DKIM setup issues, most likely due to my inexperience with the source & destination
  • Testing Cloudflare DNS - may swap back to DomainPeople if I can sort the DKIM item
  • It could be that I'm in a pending status with DNS:
  • Updated Nameservers this morning at DP using info here and in the DNS settings page as well. The nslookup results appear promising. Waiting for CF to update after the change.
    • and there's an email from CF! Congratulations! You have successfully activated mikebeane.com.

Checks

Verify Nameservers
  • nslookup -querytype=ns (domain)
Verify Start of Authority
  • nslookup -querytype=soa (domain)
Check txt (SPF)
  • nslookup -type=txt (domain)
Check txt (DKIM)
  • nslookup -type=txt x._domainkey.(domain) 1.1.1.1
    • Getting error on this return, probably the root of my issue
Check txt (DMARC)
  • nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.(domain) 1.1.1.1
    • Getting error on this return as well
Quick List
nslookup -querytype=ns (domain)
nslookup -querytype=soa (domain)
nslookup -type=txt (domain)
nslookup -type=txt x._domainkey.(domain) 1.1.1.1
nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.(domain) 1.1.1.1

Thunderbird

  • Been awhile since we've done this...
  • Google Takeout .mbox integration has gone well
