Totally agree. I've been doing this for over a decade. I've barely used my actual Gmail address for anything. I've gone through many incarnations of email, but at some point Gmail was just a solid enough UI, had the best spam filtering, and so I switched.
Everything just forwards to my Gmail address. I have a personal domain which is also setup as an outbound address. Several other domains/addresses also forward. I also do a wildcard *@something.example.org which I use for accounts/signups (unique email per site), which lets me track who's selling my address (or is breached) and has some other security benefits.
- cube00 5y agoThe wildcards are fantastic. I got some spam the other week, emailed the company that passed on my address (they didn't even think to remove their website name from the address) and ask for them to remove all my personal information and they couldn't even a muster a reply. Guess they weren't expecting that.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoSo when you reply in gmail, that reply is sent using the smtp server for your custom email domain? Where do you host that?
