I ended up giving up on that after one too many websites rejecting my custom domain (which I’m the only one using) on signup. These lazy / ignorant colleagues are annoying -_-‘
- bcrosby95 5y agoI've been using a similar scheme for about 7 years now and have never had my email rejected by a website on signup.
- 90minuteAPI 5y agoThe American Kennel Club rejected mine because the domain was “too similar” to their name. I guess just because it had a “kc” in it? Completely bewildering.
- psutor 5y agoI use this scheme (company@mydomain.com) and one that I remember blocking for this reason is Aliexpress/Alibaba - aliexpress@mydomain.com was rejected so I use ali@mydomain.com. No idea what sort of security this is supposed to provide.
- ElFitz 5y agoIt happens rarely, but some only accept a very limited number of domains (ie Gmail, Outlook, etc). They probably see it as some sort of security / anti-spam mechanism.
- toomanybeersies 5y agoI use a .xyz domain for my personal email, and I sort of regret it. My emails have a tendency to become spam filter bycatch, to the point that when I was job hunting last year I'd have to ring people after I sent them my resumes etc. to confirm they actually received my email. And when I give people my email address, I usually have to assure them that steve@stevetech.xyz is a legitimate email address and not a joke (it's not actually steve, but you get the point).
- psutor 5y agoI host my own email server, and .xyz is one of the 2 or 3 TLDs I went in the config files and manually blocked since nothing but spam comes from it (and lots of it). Definitely would not recommend using it for your personal address.
