Self hosting my email and about to switch to name cheap. Any gotchas?
Hi Welcome to the forum.
Main thing is to make sure you get your SPF/DMARC/DKIM/MX records configured correctly. I have not used namecheap for hosting email. What makes you want to use them?
The google domain nonsense. I’m there now and it seems need to move. As I don’t have a static IP and use DDNS.
Gotcha. I still run one domain on mine for email, mostly to use it’s smtp for old equipment that just doesn’t work with gmail or o365 modern authentication.
thats what i use synology mail for too, better than trying to run a relay server.

I use Synology mail for my email Namecheap I just went to from google domains and trying to figure out how to set up the dang email end. specifically the ddns on Synology for Namecheap also. brick wall I have hit.
You can also use DNS Exit as a go between if you don’t have a static IP. It’s SUPER inexpensive and we have several clients running it with no complaints.
so specifically I followed your guide for email on synology and I am running dns exit.
