Anybody have an "@alumni.lsu.edu" email that's fricking up?

Had mine since graduation (subtle brag) and it's worked fine until today. I'm getting emails fine from most sources, from what I can tell, except from Gmail accounts.

This should probably be on the tech board but figured I'd toss a bigger net to see if anyone else was having issues.

How do you check to see your old LSU email even works?

Btw, mine was an elite 1'er

I still use it through Microsoft office. It's my primary email for non work shite. That's why I'm worried, if I'm not getting Gmail sent emails then I might be missing something more important.

I spent an hour with tech support today and they're stumped, said they'd check in on it.

But I sent some test emails from work and they went through. Just Gmail accounts are getting weird "failure to send" notifications.

Signed up for it several years ago. They never gave me one. I'm not special. #sadface

You don't remember your first initial and first five letters of your last name?

I didn't even bother having an alumni email. Once my lsu email discontinued I didn't do anything with it.

Whole reason for alumni was they promised us old schoolers email for life and then realized how stupid that was

Hmmmmmm... Glad to know I'm not the only one, thanks for the feedback

Like I said, I spent an hour with tech support today and I've gotta follow up with them tomorrow. If there's any clarification I'll definitely report back.

ETA and sorry to hear about the job, best wishes

I use mine as my primary personal account. Just sent two emails to it. One from my work email. One from gmail.

Work email went through immediately. Gmail isn't showing up in any folder.

Ditto, but I never knew there was an alumni email address. I have my college just email one of my regular accounts with meetings and shite
