I'm not sure if my previous post yesterday about mail problems will get posted on the group or not.  This supersedes it.

Yesterday I became aware that I couldn't send outgoing email.

I run my own mailserver, and it seems that due to my email addresses being harvested and used in spam, my mailserver's IP address had been blacklisted, so I couldn't send email.

After emailing my ISP and one of the websites that had me listed, I find I can send email again.

This is good.  But being able to send email is quite important to me (!), so being unable to do has increased the need to migrate away from my own mail server soon.

So - where to go?

What do I do/need? I have taken advantage of my mailserver's forwarding, so that I can have email addresses like user-suffix@mydomain will all route to user@mydomain, no matter what suffix.

I have no idea of what suffixes I have used over the years. :-(

I'd like to be able to continue that, but if not, it shouldn't reject user-randomsuffix@mydomain and instead route it to a default recipient.  Hopefully!

3 main users.  For 2 I'd probably like to do a blanket redirect to other email addresses that they mainly use now. e.g. user2@mydomain, and user2-anysuffix@mydomain redirect to user2@gmail

I can probably move the whole domain to a new provider.  I don't have a website or FTP.  I use VPN to remote in to it, to access machines, but I can probably hack that with a dynamic DNS.  So it's mainly email.

Any thoughts please?
