I heard back from Mailchimp today regarding why some people’s prophetic word emails from JPH just stopped arriving back in November. It has to do with domain verification.
This is a problem. A real big problem. Because I discovered I no longer own my
domain (justpraisehim.today). And because I have no access to it or the
person who does own it in order to verify said domain.
This means I will have to purchase a new domain and hosting and move the entire website, which I have zero experience doing. I am scared to do this, but the cost of having someone move it would be high – in the thousands I’m sure, which JPH just cannot do. Giving has been in a steady decline since Covid hit in 2020, so badly that this year I had to make major cuts. In addition, I cannot trust just anyone with JPH's website. And actually, it would be good to be able to manage the site so I could fix problems on it myself.
The alternative is for me, as soon as I can find the time,
to try to learn how to build/move websites and with a ton of prayer, hope that I can
transfer it myself. Or if I can find someone who actually knows how to do this and could guide me through the steps. I will
probably move it to Wordpress, I’ll have to find a dependable hosting site and
that in itself is quite a challenge. I found some posts online from 2018 about how to
migrate a site from blogspot to Wordpress but I’m kind of afraid to try to do
it without expert guidance in the background in case I hit a snag lest I destroy
the whole site.
My apologies to everyone who is no longer receiving the emails, I’m so sorry! I will try to get this figured out and fixed as soon as I can. Until then, you can try subscribing a different email address (I don't know if that will help) or maybe try clicking on the little envelope after the word and email it to yourself.
This is what Mailchimp
said:
… I'm seeing that your sending domain is not
authenticated. Authentication essentially tells receiving email servers that it
is okay to receive email from your domain when you are sending in bulk via a
platform like Mailchimp. While it will not guarantee that emails land in a
subscriber's inbox, it will reduce many of the issues that prevent that from
happening…
Blessings to you all. - glynda
