  I get that I can have mail forwarded to ‘(email visible only to moderators and staff)’. But I want to be able to send mail showing that address as the sender.

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

  Hi!

  It looks like you’ve setup a custom email address through Outlook and entered the DNS records for your blog. Can you let me know if you were able to get this worked out?

  To send email from your custom domain address, you’ll most likely want to setup a third-party service as explained here:

  With some email providers, it is possible to setup an alias for your email address, but that isn’t always the case (isn’t possible with basic Gmail for example):

  correct re: dns objective. …’you’ll most likely want to setup a third-party’ perhaps, but if the $ervice is offered native to the service here it’d be nice of avoid the admin hassle.

  Hi!

  As of right now, we don’t have plans to build out our own email service unfortunately. We did just announce a partnership with Google Apps however:

  For right now, that only applies to new domain purchases, but we’ll be rolling it out to already-purchased domains soon!
