Agreed, if you can effort is, buy a domain and use it for email. I also have melroy at melroy dot o r g. However, I still redirect my mail, since I don't like paying for services haha. That being said, I'm planning to setup my own mail server (I finally now have the infrastructure at home and static IP, needed for this).

Anyhow, DNS also needs to be replaced by something better.

Forwarding is a decent approach too. Just note that it's not 100% reliable (due to limitations around spam filtering) and you will sometimes have emails that get dropped.

yeah I know.. It's not ideal. I don't recommend it.
