Description SJ 2011-03-29 23:39:51 UTC

Someone sent mail to me @wikimedia.com and it bounced; it would be better if mail was redirected to the same address @wikipedia.org.  I'm sure there are other people who make that msitake and don't know how to correct it when they get a bounceback.

This affects subdomains as well:

* http://commons.wikimedia.com/ doesn't work (404 error, wildcard domain)

Compare to 

* http://nl.wikipedia.com/ which does works

Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-04-28 18:00:46 UTC

You'll need to do more than update MX records in DNS.  Google Apps or LDAP will need to support it as well.

Comment 3 Tim Starling 2011-04-29 03:16:42 UTC

We don't own wikimedia.com, and it doesn't use our DNS servers, so we can't change its MX records. According to whois, it belongs to Wikimedia Deutschland.

Comment 4 JeLuF 2011-07-15 21:37:49 UTC

wikimedia.com is owned by the Foundation:

Yes, Daniel Kinzler from Wikimedia Deutschland and Rob Halsell from the Wikimedia Foundation were nice enough to work together and get the domain transferred. Thanks for updating the bug.
