ruby on rails - Configure MX to both SendGrid and Google Apps in order to use sendgrid parse API -



ruby on rails - Configure MX to both SendGrid and Google Apps in order to use sendgrid parse API -

i utilize google apps mx records.

so have email utilize send emails in sendgrid:

support@mycompany.com

now, want parse emails sent straight back upwards email , come in in app using parse api.

the problem i'll have set mx records, create both google apps , sendgrid works, i'll have create subdomain like:

support@mail.mycompany.com

right now, have reputation first email.

am gonna lose if have create subdomain , start parsing emails?

currently, reputation has lot more ip domain (although providers, domain plays part). so, switching back upwards emails support@mail.example.com not end of world.

however, if want prevent this, there couple solutions can use:

reply-to, while still sending support@example.com have reply-to of support@mail.example.com (or taken step further, $unique_ticket_hash@mail.example.com). you'll see github , zendesk emails. this best. forwarding, can setup google apps business relationship forwards every email support@example.com support@mail.example.com. however, means you're counting on google apps , running back upwards emails work. while safe assumption still adds unnecessary complexity system.
