@crazycells I’m not using ProtonMail for anything currently but I know a few people who do - @DownPW is one of them from recollection.
Using a mail relay is actually a good idea as the sending IP addresses have built up a reputation with other mail networks and spam lists over a long period of time and are mostly trusted to deliver mail on behalf of another entity.
The usage of
spf,dkim, anddmarc,DNS entries is a recommended security practice as without these, mail delivery will almost certainly fail.The daddy of mail security is definitely MimeCast. They have a week reserved reputation for being one of the best around, but there are others who offer a similar service and come out cheaper.

oh yes, you are right, probably from those discussions on this forum, I misremembered it.
I guess you only used Proton VPN at some point?

@crazycells yes, tried it and didn’t like it at all. Got a refund!

Only yesterday we got a windows and guttering flyer through the door, the email on it was Gmail and didn’t seem to exactly fit the bill for their business.
I must admit I put it right in the bin, it put me off that they were using Gmail, it maybe shouldn’t do but that was my feeling at the time that it wasn’t ultra professional.
I notice some comments about Proton mail…
I know other services offer this but I’ve found Proton Mail to be useful and with the added Proton pass which allows you to use a spoof email address that hides your email address I’ve particularly found to be a useful feature, so you sign up to a site for example and use a false email which sends verification etc to your real email very handy indeed!

Yes, we get this all the time with Window Cleaning services etc (to name one of many - hence the post

oh no… so you are saying I should not have used my sexy_boy_2005@hotmail.com email address that I got when I was at the high school for this purpose?
Just reading this again and laughing to myself. Years ago, I helped a friend’s daughter write a resume so she could search for her first job. It was all going well until I asked her if she had an email address that she’d like to use.
The response was
And that is the honest truth. I reckon if I had false teeth, they would have fallen out of my mouth there and then!

The response was
yes, “biggestbaddestbitch@hotmail.com”
ahahah , that is an email address I would use to give in supermarkets when they asked… -
@crazycells can you imagine the look on the checkout operator’s face if you did? Or, if you were asked to enter it at one of those self service checkouts, I wonder if it would accept it…
