Cool stuff!

Be sure to check your mail DNS settings now that your host name is bob.thisdomain.org. There are different ways to set it up but I've listed what I prefer below for you.
mail - A - your IP
webmail - A - your IP
imap - CNAME - thisdomain.org
pop - CNAME - thisdomain.org
pop3 - CNAME - thisdomain.org
smtp - CNAME - thisdomain.org
Lastly ensure you have DMARC, DKIM & SPF set up correctly. These are necessary for many large email providers now. You can check to see everything is good here
