Emails to gmail failing authentication from my own domain via BTInternet.com mail

wrighar — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 13:04:28 GMT

Using Thunderbird, as I have been for years:

Recently I'm starting to get fails sending to gmail from a couple of personal domains, which use btinternet.com

under the old email version, I could list authenticated emails and BT /yahoo would take care of it, and after the new email arrived it continued to work, but I could never find a screen to add additional authenticated emails.

Now it appears the old ones have bee dropped 😞

Is there to reauthenticate my domain emails?

sent as if from my email@mydomain.org

The option to edit a post only lasts for an hour from time of posting then the option is removed. A moderator has edited your post to remove the email address.

I tried adding an MX record, and that has stopped all email being sent now, so I need to removed the MX record and get back to 95% working.

The SPF record should look like this

v=spf1 mx a ip4:213.120.69.0/24 a:btinternet.com include:<my domain name>.com ~all

The only option the domain host has is address (btinternet.com) or IPv4 address, and optionally 'priority'

I added btinternet.com and all mail was 'supossably' routed via BT, and then all email stopped (send and recv)

I've removed the MX record npw and can send and recv from everywhere again excpet sending to gmail.

That's ridiculous, who's your domain provider?

To clarify, I have a domain mydomain.org which has nothing other than 3 or 4 email id's

I use Thunderbird to send emails from aaa@mydomain.org using my BT Fibre and BT email account mail servers.

Incoming email from mydomain.org are forwarded to myBTemailid@btinternet.com

Thunderbird the filters to mailboxes based on original email id
