  Hi,
  Why can’t I receive e-mails from custom address? I’ve bought my own domain http://www.wojciechdulski.com and registered forwarding e-mails to my private Gmail account. I can only verify that function, but when I’m testing it by sending a message to my custom address, nothing happens. I’m sure that address is correct. My custom address is (email visible only to moderators and staff), and it should forward messages to (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If you were sending emails from the same Gmail account to your new address, they won’t arrive (Gmail “sees” your own inbox as the originating address and sort of cancels them out). Can you try testing the forwarding from another email address?

  Let me know if emailing from a different account doesn’t work and I’ll investigate further!

  Hi,
  I’ve chcecked out sending emails from an Office365 account, and it works properly, so your’re right – Google delivers emails, but with latency, about half an hour.
  Lots of thanks and best regards!
