Email Services Update In Progress

Star Army has been having some issues with email which I'm working on resolving.

Current issues:
  • Gmail seems to be rejecting emails from us due to an DNS record thing. Other email providers may also be affected.
  • Email in general isn't being sent reliably, causing people to miss notifications by email - this is due to a limit per hour from our host, that is sometimes hit in peak hours
  • Due to the above, email verification has been disabled for account creation temporarily
  • Due to the above, there's a non-negligible portion of users using that don't work anymore.
Solutions:
  • Star Army is moving email sending services to Amazon - this is a paid but low-cost solution that will get everyone their emails from SARP reliably - but we need to clean up our email lists first
  • We will start automatically checking bounces and disabling accounts of users whose emails bounce
  • Might have to force everyone to re-verify their emails once as a precaution
  • We will be doing some updates of DNS settings to make our outgoing emails more trustable by mail servers so stuff is less likely to be rejected or spam-foldered so you can get immediately notified when your catgirl supersoliders get shot at by Kuvexian corporate mercs.
tl;dr verified that email was semi-broken, working on fixing
 
In order to cut down on outgoing email, the following features will be disabled on the wiki:
  • Subscribing to changes to a page or namespace
  • Watchcycle plugin
