Mercantile.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ is hosted on WordPress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/ VIP. Currently it’s configured to use mercantile@wordpress.org as the sender email address.
That’s failing the SPF/DMARC rules, as WordPress.org doesn’t have WP.com VIP setup as valid sender. Additionally, WP.com VIP is not attempting to sign the emails either.
Previously, it looks like mercantile used xxx@mercantile.wordpress.org as the sender via sendgrid, which is no longer configured.
Outgoing emails from Mercantile are being rejected by anything that verifies DMARC rules, which includes emails to Automattic and WordPress.org (The notifications from WooCommerce to mercantile@ are rejected, and then the undeliverable email notification is delivered to mercantile@…).
The simplest method forward appears to be to re-enable a SMTP pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, and have it send via mail.wordpress.org
- Can I get a SMTP account setup for mercantile?
- If so; We can remove the unused TXT on
mercantile.wordpress.org.and_dmarc.mercantile.wordpress.org - If not; We’ll need to look at getting sendgrid setup again, which requires a manual human account approval on their side as they need to verify identity and domain access.
