I built a website for a client a while ago at hostgator.com. She needed an email address (so she said) so I created her one in the format of [email protected]. Come to find out she had created the *same exact email address* with gmail some time before I created her one - I didn't think this was possible. She just let me know now that she's been missing emails - she always checks her email she created with gmail and never the website one. I could send her an email to that address and it would go in either place. So I took it up myself to clean this up for her this weekend. I moved all her emails from the website email address to her gmail one and then deleted her website email address - just leaving the gmail one. Now, tonight, after I did that, I send her an email and I get this bounce back message. Its just saying that the email was trying to be routed to the email address that was attached to her hosting account with her website but is no longer available. Im not sure how the email gods decide where to send emails in this instance (where the same exact address exists on multiple servers) but surely she was getting many many emails to this email address at gmail.com - but not now.
Anyone think this will resolve over night as DNS updates or something or is she screwed? She can access her gmail account on gmail.com just fine but she's not getting emails as of this writing. Any help is appreciated. I've replaced her actual email address with [email protected] below...
