I have to ask this. Is there a service where I could bring my own FQN like Notgoogle.com and then have them handle emails for me? But with a twist… I want notgoogle.com to send and receive emails via that outside entity, but I want to send the emails from a self hosted server that maybe has mailcow or similar and I want that same server to receive the emails from the outside company. Ideally the outside company is basically just a relay from my IP to the outside world and vise versa. The outside company would basically hold the emails until my server checked and downloaded them. any advice on this. Hopefully with a useful step by step guide from somewhere in the webs?

    Big nope. It’s not a technical hurdle, it’s a viability problem. Just search on why you should never host your own SMTP service.

      They are not requesting for info on running their own SMTP service that interacts with the greater internet.

      Though even if they were, the difficulty is overstated. I’ve run my own for years.
