Buying Another Domain for Email Forwarding Service
I own a custom domain for my main email provider so if I switch to a new one I won't have to change all my address for contacting people. I am considering buy a separate domain for just my email forwarding service.
What do people on here do?
Current Setup:
domain1.com - for main email
alias.domain1.com - for email forwarding with Addy.io
New Option:
domain1.com - for main email
domain2.com - for email forwarding with Addy.io

This is what I do (but simplelogin). I have a wildcard address (
*[email protected]) that let's me setup individual accounts for each service (e.g.,[email protected])[email protected]is only shared with real humans or critical services that I don't want to risk dealing with the hassle if simplelogin goes belly up (I know I can move the DNS records and recreate the accounts, but at this point I have dozens of email addresses and am prone to forgetting things).I set up a mail server which rejects mail to addresses at my spam domain that don't match a regexp, and sends the ones that do to an inbox. That way I can sign up to each service with a different address.
I have a domain2 for all mailing list and non-critical services, which I’d be able to take elsewhere if I ever change provider (I’m with Tuta so I’m hoping not to have to do that anytime soon).
I own domain1 for all friends, family and critical services (like banking etc). So far, it works well.
