In 30 minutes I'm going to delete all our users from our Google Postini email account

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Apr 15 '11, 12:33

no, I'm not going postal. We're migrating from a reseller account to a Google direct Postini account but I have to delete our domain from one before I can add it to the other

What are the chances this act goes very badly and our email goes totally down?

- I thought about waiting until the weekend but then I'm likely to not be able to get any support from Google if things go badly -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 12:39
pretty high, I'd expect. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 12:33 4
- DNS TTL is pre-set to 5 minutes. I think worst case is I lose 5 minutes of email but there's not too many ways around that -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 12:35 3
  - Most email servers would queue & retry, I would think ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 12:35 2
    - I think it all depends on what Google's old servers do once our domain goes away. If they reply with "WTF, go to hell" then it's probably a bounce - oblique Apr 15, 12:41
    - I've gotten messages from major domo about trying and failing, sorry we give up -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 12:38
