We had an account on SendGrid, and we used link branding with custom subdomain (emails.example.com). We stopped using SendGrid and switched to other email service, but we still want to support our old emails. Right now, old email links are working fine, as we still have DNS set to redirect from emails.example.com to sendgrid.net, and SendGrid still redirects to correct urls, but we are completely dependent on SendGrid right now, and we don't know if at some point in future SendGrid will simply stop redirecting this links.
So, the question is how we can redirect old email links to point to our website?
I think it's impossible, as link branding feature replaced not just domain, but also the path from the links.
Maybe someone from SendGrid will have some answer?

I've checked internally and as long as you keep the DNS in place, the redirects will continue to work.

In DocuSign connect, I've configured it such that when a user has completed signing the documents that were emailed to them, DocuSign will send an HTTP POST request that includes the signed documents to an endpoint on an app on our servers that I've specified.
For the purpose of managing whitelists and firewalls, members of my team are asking what URL the request is going to come from. I haven't found a straightforward answer in the documentation. What URL does the request come from?
Thanks for reading.
The URL cannot be fixed and more URLs can be added in the future.
If you can use wildcards for something like *.docusign.net *.docusign.com then you should be good.
You can whitelist specific DocuSign IP ranges defined for any of our sites. See the list on this page
I set up an Azure SendGrid resource in my company's Azure subscription, got my API key and wrote a C# script to send emails. It works, but the emails go to spam with an SCL=6. I expect this is because I am doing no domain authentication. (Please bear with me as I try to describe my situation, I'm still learning a lot about all this). I am sending the emails through my work/enterprise email account (XYZ#company.com) and they are going to other enterprise accounts on the same domain (company.com). My company is a large tech company with a very well known domain. I am just a user on the enterprise network as a normal vendor/employee, with this setup I don't know how I would touch DNS/SPF/DKIM options, which from what I've been reading are the main first steps to authenticate myself as the sender.
I guess my main question is: Can SendGrid be a possible solution to what I am trying to do? I want to send ~250 emails programatically, each from a template so I can substitute in recipient name and specific info, and I can do all that through C#. But is there a way I can authenticate myself so my emails do not go to spam? If not, are there alternative solutions? I'm just trying to avoid having to manually send ~250 customized template emails through Outlook.
Let me know if I need to provide more info, all answers are appreciated! Thank you!
I got a domain registered with GoDaddy recently. Also, I purchased their Professional email & paid for a year's service.
After purchasing my Hosting server I got a Cpanel Account. Digging into the various CPanel options, I came across the CPanel emails section which lets you create multiple mail accounts for your Domain. My question is, did I waste my money not knowing that CPanel offered me a facility to create Business emails? Should I start using CPanel mails & disown the GoDaddy pro mail service.
Also, CPanel offers to configure mail clients of your choice for mobile & desktop which sounds convenient & offers the same solution as my GoDaddy pro email offers.
It depends on how many emails you send out and if they are important (should reach recipient's inbox folder).
You don't mention how familiar you are with setting up email servers, however if you set up a new email server, on a new domain, there is a higher chance that your email will end up in recipient's spam folder, especially if your email server isn't configured right, and you send out a lot of emails.
The service you bought increase chances that email sent out from GoDaddy's email servers will end up in inbox instead of spam folder, because GoDaddy (should) have email servers with good reputation.
To answer your question, if you know how to configure the email server the right way, you could send out emails on your own, just like GoDaddy does, and save some money.
You can use cPanel based web hosting for your business email. You can setup your Email apps (like android default email with this). Before setting up, you must add DKIM, SPF and DMARC records within DNS of related domain, that will help you to mark your emails as not spam.
As of a few weeks ago, I noticed that I am unable to receive emails from my domain account. My application is deployed to the azure server and it uses SendGrid to send emails and this happens from my application. For example my application is 'myapplication.com' and the azure sendgrid configuration for the mail server is set up to use 'Jake#myapplication.com' but when I send and email to my yahoo account, let say to reset my password. The email never makes it, not even going to spam. I remember reading something like this a few weeks back http://sendgrid.com/blog/update-yahoos-dmarc-policy "Yahoo New Policy" but I don't see how that would effect me since my from account is not a yahoo account. If there is no fix for this, what is an alternative email setup
Before considering an alternate email setup, contact SendGrid through support.sendgrid.com, it's possible that Yahoo is wrongly blocking your email. If this is the case SendGrid will advocate for you and work to get it unblocked.

I'd suggest looking at the sendgrid dashboard and search for that email. You will be able to see exactly what happened.
it seems that Sendgrid IP pool is being deferred by yahoo. I am not sure what Sendgrid is planing to do to rectify this issue as it is impacting their clients who uses shared pool service
I have just stumbled on this issue. And it's not only Yahoo blocking sendgrid emails. They rather complaining about the senders ip address "Send Grid" rather than senders email address. :-(
Does anyone know if Google adds domains to its crawl list if they are known only through only known through Gmail email content?
A domain to which no one has ever linked and which was never submitted to Google or DMOZ has turned up in Google results.
Anyone know if they index emailed URLs?
It could have been that it was publicly listed after your purchase of the domain. I am not sure if google crawled mail for SERP but it would make sense as gmail is googles biggest social network and it would indicate trends but in a much more private conversation.
They are a registrar. I don't see why they couldn't use it to find new sites to index.
