Can't believe no one has mentioned buying your own domain, running a MTA to reroute mail from those addresses to your current gmail, and then setting your preferred address@yourdomain.com as a send-from address in gmail.
- nisa 10y agoTricky, depending on the volume you run into problems if you forward the mails. What works pretty nice and what I'm doing is let gmail fetch the mails via POP3 and configure it to send outgoing mail via the SMTP Server from the domain. No hassle about SPF/DKIM/DMARC and you can keep a copy from the mails on your server with the MTA and don't depend on Gmail. The from: is also from your domain and Gmail is clever enough to reply with the correct from: to mails that reached you that way. I'm using this with all my mail accounts and it's working fine.
- eli 10y agoHow much time do you want to spend troubleshooting email delivery issues? Running an MFA that actually gets mail these days isn't trivial.
- zeroxfe 10y agoI've been doing this for years, except that I used to use the DNS provider's mail forwarding feature for it (as opposed to running my own MTA.) Recently I switched to pobox.com (which I pay for) because I wanted some mail delivery guarantees (which most DNS providers don't give you.) (Personally I think running your own MTA is useful only if you want to learn how to run an MTA, otherwise you're just asking for trouble.)
