Disappearing emails to gmail addresses MUST BE FIXED
Dear Homestead / web.com / whoever is running the shameful circus this once-reliable service has become:
DAYS with no response to this (repeated!) critical service failure is unacceptable. I have been paying this company monthly for literally 20 years, only to end up looking like an irresponsible idiot to my clients, because I can't even see that my emails to them are simply disappearing with no non-delivery notification.
Fortunately the holidays are a quieter time for my business and it'll be a good opportunity to start shopping for some other web host/email provider. I feel terrible for those here whose businesses need to function fully leading up to Christmas.

UPDATE: I thought it was only mail to gmail, but I've just discovered mail to other domains including homestead-based accounts as well as unrelated domains that aren't the big gmail & msn type services, are also not going through. Just had yet another embarrassing conversation with a client who thought I was ignoring a request he sent me via email.
This is utterly & completely unacceptable.
Double check with ALL your recipients, people. It's not just gmail this time.

Why do WE suddenly need to "add a DKIM" (whatever that is) when everything was working just fine a few days ago and has generally worked fine for many years? The problem that has suddenly appeared for EVERYONE is clearly at YOUR end, something changed at your end, it's not all of these different customers in different places that all suddenly and simultaneously need some new thing.
I know this glitch is not your personal fault, Elyzabeth, but asking every single customer to take the time to phone in to Support and wait on hold is not an acceptable response. In June you managed to get it fixed at your end. Homestead/web.com/roundcube should be responsible for resolving this at its root cause, not hundreds or thousands of customers needing to sit in a support queue for some new band-aid fix. That's ridiculous.
I'm done, I'm going to find another service to host my domains.

Over two weeks now and apparently Homestead has chosen to simply ignore the problem with RoundCube which is the email platform THEY have provided us for webmail. If a DKIM (whatever that is) is an issue, YOUR or ROUNDCUBE'S programmers need to figure out how to make this work for every customer. This is what we are paying you for.
You can't sit there and say it's some problem on each of our ends that we each need to individually call in to resolve when it was working fine for all of us, then suddenly it stopped working fine for all of us at the exact same moment. It's clearly not gmail-specific so it can't be down to some recent change by gmail either. This is a Homestead/Roundcube failure, and it is Homestead/Roundcube's responsibility to fix it.
Meanwhile, as the weeks go by, one of the most critical services I'm paying for - email delivery - is not being provided, yet you continue to pull money from my bank account. Would that amount to breach of contract, or perhaps outright theft? When can I expect a partial refund for the services you have failed to provide this month?
Is there any intention at all to address the Roundcube mail delivery issue, or should I proceed with transferring my domains elsewhere?
