Feature request: Notification on forwarding failure
Hi,
New user here. Im moving over to your service from mailgun (I'm sure I am not alone due to mailgun change to free tier). One of the things I found very valuable in mailgun is the ability to call a webhook on forwarding failure. This allowed my to (via IFTTT) email an alternative account to advise there have been forwarding issues. Why is this so important is that my provider (outlook.com) occasionally blocked mailgun due to their IPs being flagged as spam distributors (which MG were swift to address) but in the interim it allowed me to change routing to avoid further email losses.
I checked in your faq and github issues but I didnt find mention of such a capability in forwardemail.net
Is forwarding failure notification something you are considering to add? Does not need to be a webhook - could also be simple email, SMS etc.
I've thought about this a lot - and I'm going to make this an opt-in feature.
Nice - it would be a great addition to what looks to be a great service. I figured it may have a conflict on the security aspect (no logs, no disk writes/all in mermory) but for many users I think that knowing when there was a problem to avoid losing important mails would be a acceptable trade off. Even better to have option as you say.
Hi @niftylettuce I have established today that outlook.com started to block emails from your service (when I needed to email something to myself it was not delivered). I added a second target address on my catchall alias and sure enough emails started to arrive on that address.
This makes my request to get notified when there was a problem to deliver more important for me. (I dont know how many mails I have not received...)
Also raises the issue of how your service and outlook.com establish trust. When I used to use mailgun this issue would occasionally arise and they moved me to a different IP to solve it. I assume this is not so possible for your service. How can I help to ensure that outlook will accept delivery of my mails?
It seems a lot of the emails are also being bounced. I'm subscribed to a few mailing lists and got an email from on that lot of their emails are being bounced from my forwarded email. It would be great if we could get some stats on bounce rate.
I'm sorry - I had to take care of some stuff, I will be following up ASAP. Hopefully the end of the week. Tons of updates and features (like these) coming your way.
Thank you all for your patience 🙏
