Last night's Google outage is still causing shockwaves through some of their services. Gmail is sending back wrong bounce messages that say stuff like "email address doesn't exist" when in fact they do!
If you're getting a lot of bounce messages from OwnerRez today, please note that we are watching this and reactivating these email addresses for you.

You can look at the technical details on the update page, but here's a quick breakdown of the big stuff.

....com email address and all emails are sent from it. Then, when guests reply, their email goes back into our system and we track both inbound and outbound emails against the guest. There is a lot of stuff to cover here including a much more robust guest/contact system so it won't be coming for awhile.
At the moment, we've programmed all emails that are sent to include a REPLY-TO header with your emai...
Yep, Airbnb's got a bit of a hodgepodge going now, stuff they've added over time. They're working on sorting it out, but that's a longer process, particularly them making changes and then making those new methods available via API.
