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. |

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. |
