Forwarding from registrar to Gmail account
I have a domain (domainname.tld) that I'm using for e-mails only (newsletters, forum updates, etc), and have decided to experiment with delivery to a Gmail account.
I've created a new Gmail account (domainnametld@gmail.com), in that account I have created an alias (domainname.tld@gmail.com) - note the dot added. For that alias, I have 'reply to' set to an email address at my domain (me@domainname.tld). I've created numerous email forwards at the registrar, that all forward to the Gmail account (domainnametld@gmail.com) - no wildcards. When sending e-mails, I intend to only use the one alias created - TBH there will be very little sending done on this domain. When they are sent the e-mails will say from 'domainname.tld@gmail.com' which is acceptable to myself, and the e-mails should get delivered without problem. Am I missing anything here, is there any problem anyone could foresee with this particular set up? |

If that's so, then there's no distinction between your new account and the alias with the dot. Unless I'm missing something? |

I believe that should all work as you describe it. I have done something similar, but instead I was able to create a Gmail address like this: fromdomain@gmail.com Personally, I have found that dots in email addresses needlessly confuse some people, though they are ignored by Gmail. For example, I have seen some people inadvertantly add a space after the dot when typing in the address.

I've requested access to Cloudflare Email Routing, and am looking forward to trying that out, as an alternative to the registrar forwarding. |
