The dots do matter: how to scam a Gmail user

I use my own domain, but still use Google for my email service.

I've had fleeting thoughts of moving away, but am pretty used to the Google's spam filtering, labelling, search, and not having to care about space or managing my own kit.

Are you DIY'ing everything?

I delayed moving away for literally years for this reason, but in 2016 I finally made the jump to fastmail and it was much smoother than I thought it would be. I don’t get any more spam than I did with gmail. I still forward my gmail to my fastmail but typically when I get a forwarded mail I either cancel whatever subscription it is or update it’s email settings, so I get rather little forwarded now.

Like dkersten, I moved to Fastmail. I used to DIY it but got tired of maintenance.
