Email Accounts
- STAR's emails are managed via admin.google.com/standrewsradio.com
- STAR has a G Suite legacy account (i.e. created before December 2012), allowing the creation of unlimited free accounts, each with 15GB of storage.
- We started using G Suite around May 2008 (citation needed)
- Email addresses for committee members should follow [email protected].
- There are also multiple groups, e.g. news@, music@, programming@, and hello@. Committee members can be added to groups to receive emails sent to the group. Emails cannot be sent from a group address.
- Both users and groups may have aliases, e.g. bo@ redirects to manager@.
- The invalid user account, *@, will catch any emails sent to non-existent addresses within our domain. This is useful for unlocking old STAR pages connected to long-departed committee members.
Stream URLs
Domains
- STAR also owns standrewsradio.co.uk; it should simply redirect to the main site.
- sta.radio is STAR's custom URL shortener, which is hosted at Heroku. The source code for the shortener is on GitHub.
- Domains are managed by Rachel Hughes, Union Design & Marketing Manager ([email protected])
- The rapid.standrewsradio.com subdomain was associated with RapidSwitch; STAR moved from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean in 2019, so no rapid. URLs should now be in use.
