I didn&amp;#x27;t like the old domain parking tools, so I created my own&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;newsy.co&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;newsy.co&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;It creates a content-aggregator site for your domain based on keywords important to your domain with a bunch of features related to building the traffic, monetizing etc.&lt;p&gt;But I digress. One of the features that I built was to allow users to send and receive emails using the domain names. This became an important feature once the site grows to become a bit more like a community (where users are submitting posts, comments etc) and there needs to be a way to engage with the userbase. It&amp;#x27;s also important for people who want to sell your domains.&lt;p&gt;The two specific features I built was&lt;p&gt;1) Using your existing GMail to send and receive emails with your custom domain
2) Forwarding your email to another inbox.&lt;p&gt;The email hardening advice given in this post is great - I&amp;#x27;ve also added some of these and allow users to make changes to their DNS records directly.</text></comment>
