The world’s 3rd most popular domain registrar has been sold to Squarespace – but Google didn’t notify customers just yet. When could this happen, and why is Google silent?
I’m still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.
I’m in the same boat you are, I had numerous domains (over a dozen) each with e-mail forwards to a single gmail account. I ended moving my domain registration to AWS Route 53 and pointing my DNS over to cloudflare. Cloudflare offers both DNS and e-mail forwarding for free, so I’m back in business. They also provide analytics on email forwarding that google lacked. not gonna miss google one bit.
correct, and I’m aware that google has all this information as well. With the way e-mail gets routed, there’s always a 3rd party that can acquire some or all of the information contained in an e-mail.
on the cloudflare side, you click on your domain from the home page and select the Email tab on the left and follow their instructions.
on the gmail side, you don’t need to do anything beyond responding to cloudflares email confirmation unless you want to setup reply-to addresses for one or more of your forwarded accounts. To do that, follow this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en

Right but now CloudFlare reads all the email. 🥲
