[gentoo-user] OT: looking for email provider

[Jack]

Relying on the collective experience and advice of the group here.

As may be obvious to many of you, the address this message is sent from  
"...@×××××××××××××××××.net" isn't really a fully functional address.   
Email sent to that address will be forwarded by the sourceforge system  
to a personal address I specify.  When I send a message "From: " that  
address, however, I cannot send it through the sourceforge system, as I  
don't actually have an email account with them.  Currently, I send it  
through my gmail account.  That works because I added that address in  
my gmail Settings under "Accounts and Import" /  "Send mail as:".  To  
set it up, gmail sends a message to that address, and I click on a link  
in the message to prove it does come to me.  That's been working find  
for a long time, but, ...

I'm trying to move away from gmail.  Especially for mailing lists like  
this one, if I send a message to the list, I never see that I get the  
message from the list, because gmail refuses to show it in my inbox  
because it's a duplicate of a message already in my sentbox.

I do have an email account with privateemail.com (thorough  
namecheap.com) but they are unable or unwilling to have a similar  
setup.  I'm not even sure they actually understand what I'm asking of  
them, but I've wasted more than enough time trying.

So - I'm asking if anyone can recommend an email service provider that  
understands this and will let me set it up.  I have my own domain, but  
namecheap.com does seem willing to have the appropriate DNS record  
point to a different email provider.  At this point, I'm not interested  
in running my own email server.  I currently only need two mailboxes,  
maybe a small number more in the future, but this is personal, not  
commercial.  I don't need to do bulk emails, maybe up to a dozen or so  
recipients.  I do NOT expect it to be free, but cost is at least some  
consideration.  I don't need huge storage limits, as although I use  
IMAP access when on the road, when I'm home, I use POP3 to download  
everything.  I'd also like at least minimal control over spam  
filtering, mainly to let almost anything through for me to filter  
locally.  If privateemail.com has false positives for everything from  
some sender (such as ups.com, for example) I need to open a ticket with  
them to add a whitelist.  No such thing as clicking on "Not spam" and  
apparently no intent to ever do so.

Thanks for any suggestions.
