Dave, I know you have a number of email addresses, but do you think it's perhaps time you use something like Google G Suite and have email connected to your own domain?

You're talking $8.40 per month for a single user and with that, you can have up to 30 aliases. For example, you might have djones@eevblog as your user, but then have aliases such as info@eevblog, store@eevblog, etc... You can even "send as" your aliases if you like and all email just gets delivered into your primary inbox.

That would not help at all in this case.

Absolutely it would. Anyone can sign up for an @gmail.com address that looks half-way genuine. Only Dave can use an @eevblog.com email address.

It gives credibility to those with their own domain/business.

Agreed. But it is still up to the recipient to verify whether an e-mail is legit or not.
