I currently have an email address,
[email protected], that I currently use to forward to a gmail account that I've used for years. I currently have it set, so I can send email from my
[email protected] instead of
[email protected].
This is done through the web ui on my current domain name,
provider, gandi.net.
What are the main differences between this arrangement, and setting up a Google Apps for your domain setup, where I'm explicitly listing in the dns records to point records to point to Google's app mail server?
