Use of own domain name with Office 365 Home/Premium

Thanks - mailgun works absolutely great!

BTW there is a good guide to mailgun forwarding here:

https://christopher.su/2015/wildcard-email-forwarding/

I initially had a problem where the mailgun IP I was assigned was blocked by outlook (presumably someone reported it as a spam relay).

I raised a ticket with mailgun and they moved me to another IP immediately and now all is good.

I periodically check for any forwarding issues, and also set up a IFTTT webhook to alert me to another email address on any permanent forwarding failures.

Also if you only need incoming mail redirected to outlook you can use this free service:

Personally I didnt try it but it looks promising...

To be honest i did call Godaddy and explane wath i wont to do to get the outlook solution running. The support hooked me up with a new account and created this DNS off site zone. They explicit told me this was free with 0 costs. I can find any message of stopping this service in my go daddy portal.

Hey, thanks for the tip with the off-site DNS however I did notice that it doesn't seem to be free. When creating the zone, I got a mail with the nameservers and on the bottom there is:

"Please note that since you are not a Premium DNS customer, this off-site zone will be deleted in 30 days."

Are you really sure that it costs 0?

0.

Having additional aliases (not only 1 address per Office Account) is a precondition for proper use for me as well, yes. But:

This is a totally seperate issue. This can be done of course. You just forward all other aliases from other domains into the respective box here @MS. Or you could forward email coming in into the office-box outwards somewhere else.

The limit just is as far as one can see today that you only have 1 address per office license, so the size of your setup is pretty limited.

no. It isn't. A domain have to only be parked at / delegated to GoDaddy DNS servers. It means you may buy/ have got one from another registrar and the only things have be set up are 

1. create new GoDaddy user account or have got one
2. Create new DNS zone in GoDaddy for your domain
3. migrate DNS records from legacy service to GoDaddy
4. in your registrar service change name servers (NS) (delegate) of your domain from legacy registrar NS servers to GoDaddy ones.

Hi,

What is the cost of using GoDaddy's name servers if you already pay domain registration fees to another company?

It's good to finally see Microsoft doing something, but for me it's not yet useable without aliases. Also I currently have aliases for multiple domains going to the same mailbox.
