Interesting! You said you gave up on the outbound, does that mean you can't reply to mails you receive? But if you can reply, does that mean the sender (let's assume someone with gmail) will get it or would even that likely end up blackholed or in spam?
I can reply yo emails. It's what jaybone said -- I use a 3rd party outbound (SMTP).
I use Thunderbird as my mail client. In there you can define multiple IMAP/pop accounts (inbound) and multiple SMTP (outbound). So when I click reply, the SMTP I have set for that email address is a 3rd party service that sends emails using my domain.
This does have a privacy implication, so whether that's appropriate for you is for you to decide. The 3rd party can read and save a copy of your outbound email inclusive of any content included with it (like the email you're replying to if you include it).
Ah nice, that is a great idea. I will try this out, thanks!
What 3rd party service do you use?
Don't take this as an endorsement as it's not really intended to be used for this purpose and I'm probably going to switch, but I've been using sendgrid for a few years as I was familiar with it from business use. I was using mandrill before that until they changed their pricing and some other things.
EDIT: also worth mentioning I have a grandfathered free plan.
Good for you if you have a grandfathered account, but Sendgrid has a terrible interface. Setting up things is so messed up!
Again, not an endorsement, but Qboxmail is nice and EU-based.
Maybe they send emails using someone else’s smtp server? (Like some paid service that provides smtp?)
