Today in "Google broke email"
Dear Lazyweb, if I have to self-host IMAP for my non-nerd staff, how do I deal with filtering?
I am *begging* you to read the whole post before replying:
Currently, my staff emails arrive at their @dnalounge.com address and Postfix forwards to their Gmail addresses with all of the usual DMARC/DKIM/ARC/SPF flavoring. It mostly works. Mostly. If I am interpreting this page correctly, it says that starting in January, Gmail is going to ...

@jwz I had some success a few years back with Roundcube webmail, with dovecot's managesieve to, uh, manage the sieve. That said there was always a "why can't we just use exchange" and I eventually left. Still have the config if you want.
I think I run a setup close as what you want.
mail arrive at postfix MX
1- a rewrite rule in /etc/postfix/headers_check changes change the from header to :
"Sender description" "sender@externaldomain.com" <mailrelay@yourdomain.com>
then gets forwarded to some gmail outlook etc (in /etc/postfix/virtual)
Most of things happens with the email client,
from a mail client (claws-mail on desktop and k9-mail on android in my case), you can use the "send from" functionality.
1/n
a filter in the mail client can be put in place to match everything coming from "yourdomain.com" and put it automatically in a specific folder
@tseitr There is no filter I can put in place that will make "Google is dropping support for Send As in January" stop being true. Because my last name is not Google.
Ok, my setup will keep working with google after they discontinue the send as. I will no longer attempt at describing my setup which I took considerable time setting up.
Good luck exploring your alternatives.
@tseitr What? No. You seem to be describing some home-brew version of SRS, and, no, just no. But also this has absolutely nothing to do with "Google is dropping support for Send As in January." The two are orthogonal.
Google is dropping support so an alternative is needed.
yes there is some SRS involved.
my associate can receive to their custom domain email inbox in gmail and "send as" another domain from a mail client.
if you are not interested in this setup, I won't finish the explanation. (I even have a diagram!). But it is the only thing that comes to my mind to keep using google as an inbox and do a "send as" dnalounge,
@jwz I didn't see ruling out third parties, so... Mailroute?
@Mutesplash It takes an absolutely *deranged* reading of what I wrote to think that I was asking for some third party to outsource things to. JFC.
@jwz Connecting to your site times out for me, as it has for weeks if not months.
