I have a set it up so that any email sent to unknown users on my domain gets redirected to email. If you send an email to
[email protected]
and my real email is[email protected]
, I will still receive the email.Now this is great because I will just use
[email protected]
and still get the email. If the email is leaked, I will know where it came from.Owning your own domain is great that way. Even makes the little bit I pay to ProtonMail well worth it. There are a few addresses I have dedicated, like my [email protected], me@, and my-name@, but the rest just go to a catch all. It's fantastic.
My mail is hosted by my domain host but I am considering switching to Proton. Have you done such a move?
I made that move and had no issues. You can copy/paste your way through DNS setup and the rest is just configuring your proton account how you want.
You'll want to be familiar with proton and some of the tradeoffs in its privacy model, but it's most likely more feature-full than a hosting provider. Dreamhost, for one, is quite basic.
