> For me the biggest drawback is migrating ALL those emails if your provider decides to end support for catchalls (like Dreamhost). With Gmail for Business / GSuite / Workspace, I had gone through the trouble of adding aliases through the Gmail.com UI when I wanted a from address. And I had created a bunch of dead accounts with aliases to reduce spam. But when I switched away from Workspace to NameCheap, I just set up my one account as a catch-all, and in Thunderbird, when I want to send from one of those aliases, I just type it in, and it works fine. (Gmail had a setting that if you got it wrong, it sent it as an alias, but also used your mail address as the actual from/reply-to, which I found annoying!) I also stopped bothering setting up those "honeypot" accounts. I get more spam, but... it's almost all detected as spam and put in the spam folder, so I don't worry too much. A few weeks ago, I had a day where a couple dozen gibberish addresses came in, like 8aeef09lk@domain.com, but then it stopped again. Of course, all that is to say, if my current host does end support, it would be a pain! |
