# Moore Sunny Daze — Email Migration: Gmail → MXroute
|
||||
|
||||
## Current State
|
||||
- Tim & Ashley use a @gmail.com address for rental inquiries
|
||||
- Business correspondence mixed with personal email
|
||||
- No professional domain-based email
|
||||
|
||||
## Target State
|
||||
- **Email:** reservations@mooresunnydaze.com (or hello@, stay@ — TBD)
|
||||
- **Platform:** Germaine's MXroute account
|
||||
- **Access:** Webmail (Roundcube) + IMAP/SMTP for phone/desktop
|
||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create mailbox on MXroute
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Via MXroute DirectAdmin (Germaine's account)
|
||||
# Add new mailbox: reservations@mooresunnydaze.com
|
||||
# Generate strong password, save to Vaultwarden
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Configure DNS at Cloudflare
|
||||
After domain transfer is complete, add MX records:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type Name Content Priority TTL
|
||||
MX @ mx1.mxroute.com 10 120
|
||||
MX @ mx2.mxroute.com 20 120
|
||||
TXT @ v=spf1 include:mxroute.com ~all 120
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Add DKIM (if MXroute provides it)
|
||||
- Get DKIM record from MXroute control panel
|
||||
- Add as TXT record in Cloudflare DNS
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Add DMARC (optional but recommended)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type Name Content
|
||||
TXT _dmarc v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:g@germainebrown.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Test email delivery
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Send test from external account
|
||||
echo "test" | mail -s "Test" reservations@mooresunnydaze.com
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify receipt in Roundcube
|
||||
# Send reply back
|
||||
|
||||
# Check SPF/DKIM/DMARC at mail-tester.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Migrate existing emails (if needed)
|
||||
- Google Takeout export of Gmail mailbox
|
||||
- Import to MXroute via IMAP migration tool
|
||||
- OR: set up Gmail forwarding for 90 days
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Configure on Tim & Ashley's devices
|
||||
- iPhone: Settings → Mail → Add Account → Other → IMAP
|
||||
- Server: mail.mxroute.com
|
||||
- IMAP port: 993 (SSL)
|
||||
- SMTP port: 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL)
|
||||
- Desktop: same IMAP settings in Apple Mail / Outlook / Thunderbird
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Update all listings
|
||||
- VRBO/Airbnb contact email → reservations@mooresunnydaze.com
|
||||
- Facebook page contact → reservations@mooresunnydaze.com
|
||||
- New website contact → reservations@mooresunnydaze.com
|
||||
- Business cards/signage if any
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Transition period (90 days)
|
||||
- Set Gmail auto-reply: "We've moved! Please email reservations@mooresunnydaze.com"
|
||||
- Forward Gmail → MXroute for 90 days
|
||||
- After 90 days: remove forwarding, keep Gmail for personal use only
|
||||
|
||||
## Email addresses to set up

||||

|
||||
|---------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
