MS Based IT infrastructure for a very small business

You should have a stream of emails from me with the subject "Sent at 19:17" to "Sent at 19:23".

I have not yet had any bounces.

I have those in the box the forwarding rule from the domain registrar is forwarding to. It seems to take a while for the forward to stop working.

in the cavaris mail box - if I search for mails from you richard.cranium.esq@googlemail.com I get 0 results.

does the bouce message help you?

[RichardCranium]

Emails sent to you just disappear.

Emails sent to RandomName@cavaris.com give the same error:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 <RandomName@cavaris.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table (state 14).

So, your mail software needs to be told what to do with email names it does not know, e.g. RandomName@...

But yours must be being received somewhere.

Where is your email being held? At the ISP hosting your domain or on a machine in front of you?

That sucks big time.
I have a support ticket with google but I have heard nothing from them so far.

A Google search for that error suggests lots:

Sounds like the fault is whoever is doing the forwarding for you, not Google.

cavaris.com goes to smtp2.mail.ascio.net, whoever they are.

Email sent to @cavaris.com must go somewhere first.

Am I right in thinking speednames is your hosting provider? If so, I would expect you need to configure the email on there. I reckon email sent to ThomasSoerensen@cavaris.com is being cheerfully stored on that email system, and anything else bounces as unknown (i.e. no alias set up for it).

the first link in that resultpage talked about a copy rule causing it.

I have a copy rule in the cavaris box to copy everything to my gmail address.

I have deleted it now. Lets see what happens.
