Emergency Email Server [closed]

Question

Preface

Skip this if you just want the question, just some background

We've been using Google Apps for Domains for years with out any (major) issues. But yesterday I removed an alias domain and added it new (secondary) domain. Then I changed my primary email address form richard@old-company.co.uk to richard@newcompany.com.

But, this removed my admin rights, I just keep getting bounced to;

https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/newcompany.com/UserHub

I can't login using richard@old-company.co.uk at:

https://www.google.com/a/old-company.co.uk/

It fails and trying to reset the admin password results in a server error. And to boot richard@old-company.co.uk was/is my only admin account.

All this has resulted in my email richard@newcompany.com working but all other *@newcompany.com emails bouncing - *@old-company.co.uk still work however.

Question

After scouring Google forums for answers to the above situation it seems this is a semi-regular issue but Google can take 2 weeks to respond!

What I need is an emergency mail server, I just want to point my newcompany.com MX records at this server and it to accept all emails (I can filter later). Are there services that do this, anyone will do (except Google).

Answer 1

You can use a cloud server, I use Rackspace and a cloud Debian squeeze with POSTFIX as a mail server, good thing with rackspace is you can add and delete servers at will and only get charged by the hour, run it for as long or as short as you like then just delete it when you sort your MTA with google.
