- SXX 10y agoCan you please explain how exactly this going to work without Google Apps? Am I missing something?
- Vanit 10y agoYeah, you're missing the bit where you use a 3rd party to send/receive the email as a proxy for your personal gmail account, i.e. using Zoho. (1) Point your MX records at your Zoho mail (2) Forward all mail from Zoho to your personal gmail account (3) Setup a sender alias in your gmail account for your domain
- SXX 10y agoThis is way I using gmail now, but that is kind a opposite to statement in message I replied to: "set DNS for MX to Google". Currently I have to redirect to Google and Google only send from those boxes using 3rd party SMTP server. So main advantage of having trusted sender is not there.
- pasbesoin 10y agoExactly. I believe the/an ancestor was referring to getting registration through Google and taking advantage of a "free" Gmail account against that custom domain. As far as I know, if you register elsewhere and set up DNS so, you can still get one Gmail account against the domain name for "free" -- in contrast to when Google was rolling out Google Apps to the public and offered first 50, then 25, then 10 "free" Gmail accounts to a unpaid Google Apps account so configured.
