<3 so cute.
godaddy email forward to yahoo fails due to 550 error, forward to gmail works fine
there is no fix for this, unless yahoo changes their server settings. try using gmail instead.
after some debugging, because godaddy kept complaining about mx records, i followed this to the letter:
https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/7598/setting-up-forwarding-accounts-in-the-workspace-control-center
still didn’t work. when i checked the bounce message, it was actually due to yahoo.
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain blah.com by mx-biz.mail.am0.yahoodns.net. [98.139.171.245].
The error that the other server returned was:
550 relaying denied for <foo@blah.com>
Tues Startup: Social Media Network of Pigeons, Avian.io
Recently I asked someone who shared a link with me where he found it. He told me “from the internet”.
Well, yes, almost all hyperlinks are found and shared on the internet as a matter of fact.
BUT IMAGINE IF
You extended the pigeon protocol to the concept of social media.
Say you want to share an article, youtube video, or other link with a friend.
- you install the Avian.io app and hit “ave it!”
- a robot prints the link out and attaches it to a Certified Pigeon. that pigeon finds you, poops on your head to get your attention, and gives you the link
- if you “like” the link,
- you feed the pigeon some crackers so that when it returns to the sender
- the sender then knows how much you appreciate the link based on how much the pigeon poops on him/her 30 minutes later
