As may be obvious to many of you, the address this message is sent from |
4 |
"...@×××××××××××××××××.net" isn't really a fully functional address. |
5 |
Email sent to that address will be forwarded by the sourceforge system |
6 |
to a personal address I specify. When I send a message "From: " that |
7 |
address, however, I cannot send it through the sourceforge system, as I |
8 |
don't actually have an email account with them. Currently, I send it |
9 |
through my gmail account. That works because I added that address in |
10 |
my gmail Settings under "Accounts and Import" / "Send mail as:". To |
11 |
set it up, gmail sends a message to that address, and I click on a link |
12 |
in the message to prove it does come to me. That's been working find |
13 |
for a long time, but, ... |
14 |
|
15 |
I'm trying to move away from gmail. Especially for mailing lists like |
16 |
this one, if I send a message to the list, I never see that I get the |
17 |
message from the list, because gmail refuses to show it in my inbox |
18 |
because it's a duplicate of a message already in my sentbox. |

I do have an email account with privateemail.com (thorough |
21 |
namecheap.com) but they are unable or unwilling to have a similar |
22 |
setup. I'm not even sure they actually understand what I'm asking of |
23 |
them, but I've wasted more than enough time trying. |
24 |
|
25 |
So - I'm asking if anyone can recommend an email service provider that |
26 |
understands this and will let me set it up. I have my own domain, but |
27 |
namecheap.com does seem willing to have the appropriate DNS record |
28 |
point to a different email provider. At this point, I'm not interested |
29 |
in running my own email server. I currently only need two mailboxes, |
30 |
maybe a small number more in the future, but this is personal, not |
31 |
commercial. I don't need to do bulk emails, maybe up to a dozen or so |
32 |
recipients. I do NOT expect it to be free, but cost is at least some |
33 |
consideration. I don't need huge storage limits, as although I use |
34 |
IMAP access when on the road, when I'm home, I use POP3 to download |
35 |
everything. I'd also like at least minimal control over spam |
36 |
filtering, mainly to let almost anything through for me to filter |
37 |
locally. If privateemail.com has false positives for everything from |
38 |
some sender (such as ups.com, for example) I need to open a ticket with |
39 |
them to add a whitelist. No such thing as clicking on "Not spam" and |
40 |
apparently no intent to ever do so. |

Thanks for any suggestions. |
