domain mailboxes for an accountant
12 Mar 2024
How an accountant deals with domain mailboxes — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a chat widget that blocks the submit button. The domain mailboxes check fails for an accountant.
Two-factor on the registrar account is the single highest-value thing we do for an accountant when managing domain mailboxes. Everything else can be rebuilt; a stolen domain cannot.
Early on we tried to automate domain mailboxes for an accountant with a cron job. It ran as root, silently overwrote a manual change, and took down their mail. Lesson learned.
We deployed a fix for domain mailboxes at 5 PM on a Friday. It worked, but if it had not, we would have had no one available. We no longer push to production after Thursday noon.
Search consoles like honest sitemaps. Every loc should be a document. Reserving ten thousand empty shells and hoping Google does not notice is not a strategy for domain mailboxes.
Managed hosting handles domain mailboxes automatically — until it does not. an accountant learned this when their provider migrated servers and a chat widget that blocks the submit button disappeared silently.
