As in this picture, l don’t want to remain a sender/recipient, but an address in itself. So that l can house multiple senders/recipients.

Would that be possible ?

    I have been trying in the past to do this myself but I stopped for the following reasons:

    • what happens if your internet connection is lost while someone sends you an email? It probably will not reach your mailbox. If you host it on a private internet connection, it might drop now and then (ISP updates your modem at night, you need to turn off the electricity, etc)
    • its complicated.
    • mail is crucial for me. It needs to be 100% reliable.

    I ended up buying a domain name and hooking it up to a premium email service (fastmail, but there are plenty others).

      On this point, mail servers will retry for a period, usually 24 hours, before reporting back to the sender that they couldn’t deliver.
