I'm myself using a non-profit email redirection service as my main e-mail address. They do not provide an email box, just the redirect, so they can keep the service lean with a very modest one-time fee for new members.
This allows me to change the actual e-mail provider when needed. I already moved (successfully) away from Gmail, and I'm currently considering moving again as the spam protection of my current paid-for email service isn't that great.
I think the redirection service is ingenious. Sadly it isn't available worldwide, so I won't advertise it here, but I'm sure there are others like that.
- icebraining 10y agoHow does it work for sending, though?
- distances 10y agoSent via the email provider, but I'm using clients that can set a custom "From" and/or "Reply-To" header fields, containing of course the redirecting address.
- icebraining 10y agoThanks for your answer. What about DKIM? Are you forgoing it, or do your clients have support for signing the emails?
- setq 10y agoAs an anecdote, I've never used DKIM or even SPF and have no delivery problems from my domain.
- distances 10y agoTo be frank I haven't even thought to consider DKIM, so I guess it's fair to say it hasn't been a problem. This is a private e-mail address with quite low number of outgoing e-mails, so hard to say how universal my experience on this is.
