I'm using my domain as a mail forwarding service, much as you use acm.org - in fact I used to use an acm.org address. Using my own domain gives me as many email addresses as I want. My ISP allows me to send mail with a From stating my own domain, which is good enough for me. The route shows that the message comes from one of my ISP's IP addresses, of course. I'm only concerned about getting inbound mail to my domain forwarded to my ISP's system, or directly to my system. Does anybody know of any good companies that provide this service?
