As the recent changes to .org show, though, after a while the domain owns you rather than the other way around! I am trying to move away from gsuite. The thing with forwarding from there is that it goes through spam there first, meaning you really have to check it (my accountant screwed up their spf records recently, leading to a lot of confusion). Using the account directly sucks, you have constant switching and gsuite accounts can't do things like family sharing. Forwarding services, even implementing srs still can't rewrite dkim, so you get weird reply to addresses than again often trigger things ending up in spam. I think the best solution while keeping everything together in the Google ecosystem (drive, docs, calendar, etc.) is probably an external provider you do pop from to your standard Google account, then offlineimap style backup Gmail somewhere else. Then you still have arbitrary delays in fetching! Basically, everything is terrible.

If you're on paid G Suite, you can tweak the Default routing setting [1] in Google Admin to forward all emails to a different domain. I believe this bypasses Gmail's spam filter (Google might reject some mail during SMTP — I've never had a problem with mail delivery to Google though, unlike to Hotmail).

Huh? If you're trying to move off of G Suite, why not just change your domain MX to your new mail provider? Google doesn't need to get involved at all.

Let’s hope handshake.org will solve this problem. The difficult part to overcome is adoption.
