Nah. I have hosted my domain for 17 years on google and then fastmail. The hosting is harder than private relay, although not too hard.

But I have only had maybe 3 services ever reject my domain, and those were because the domain contains a number.

I've had some reject my e-mail address because it contains their company name. REI was one (ie it wouldn't allow rei@domain.com but would accept reicoop@domain.com)

Should have registered as rei-are-incompetent-idiots@ instead…

I was just able to create an account using `rei@<mydomain>` on rei.com w/o any issues. Now, figuring out how to delete the account is another matter entirely...

Cool, they probably changed it, this was years ago. I've had similar issues with other companies, REI is just the only one I can I really recall right now.

I haven't had an outright rejection, but definitely a few odd moments with call center agents. "theircompanyname@myname.com" is definitely not the default expectation :)

Within the space of 2 weeks I had both Etsy and Mapbox block signups with Proton Mail aliases. The practice is rapidly becoming more common.

Blocking signups from proton.me is not the same thing as only allowing signups from the big mail providers.

Great, so all I need to do is to authoritatively check each plausible combination of domains that _might_ work and rule each of them?

What a load of pedantry.
