You should always own the domain your email is sent to. If this is the case then the solution to this problem is trivial with DKIM/SPF, if this is not the case

You should always own the domain your email is sent to. If this is the case then the solution to this problem is trivial with DKIM/SPF, if this is not the case then it does not matter what third-party provider you are using because this can always happen. Your complaint has nothing to do with fastmail.
- amelius 4y ago> You should always own the domain your email is sent to. Can you own a domain name? I was under the impression that it can still expire, which makes this solution about just as bad.
- vivan 4y agoOther email providers don't allow recycling of account names - once they're gone, they're gone. That said, I do agree that using a domain you own is better practice. However, I have been burned there before - I used a .eu domain for pretty much all of my email sign-ups for over a decade, then had the domain yanked away because of Brexit. Yes, my fault for not realising that this would happen (I lay some of the blame with my domain provider for not mentioning it to me at all).
- devilkin 4y agoI think you are woefully mistaken here, plenty of mail providers allow you to scrap your account and get a new one with the same mail address.
