Don't Use a gmail.com Address

I have my own domain and my email ends with a .casa TLD and it not only causes confusion, I have had some websites reject it as invalid.

I think lesser known TLDs are the problem. I have had a .net domain and used the email address (and its self hosted these days, which has been a problem with sending to hotmail) and have never had it rejected or confuse anyone.

ON the other hand I had a website with a ccTLD and one guy kept trying to add .com to it - his own country's ccTLD!
