Totally agreed, I do not want to manage my own workflow in a manner like this. I actually just put a doc together[1] last month for anyone looking to do the same through providers that support this workflow.
The one killer feature that is missing in Fastmail right now is the ability to reply to email as the same alias it was received as. I.e. if Airbnb support emails me at airbnb@mydomain.com, it'll default replay as me@mydomain.com unless I go manually setup the airbnb alias.

- mmcclure 7y agoI remember thinking the same thing last time I looked into Fastmail, but earlier when I was checking before posting, it appears that's gotten much, much better. From the Fastmail docs[1]: > Creating an [wildcard] alias also creates a matching sending identity. This means you can also send mail using this wildcard alias. When sending from a wildcard alias, you'll be able to manually type the From address (to sales@mydomain.com or accounts@mydomain.com, etc) when writing a message. So, yes, it appears you still have to manually set the from address, but at least you don't have to actually go do anything outside of the composition interface anymore!

- btmiller 7y agoOh neat! Now this needs to be in the native iOS Mail client.
- srhngpr 7y agoI am using Exchange Online, and I cannot reply using aliases that I've created. It also always defaults to the primary username. Anyone figure out a way to make this work in Exchange Online?
