Thanks for mentioning it. I've been using my address in this manner
for many years, so I don't know why it's now having an issue with it.
Unfortunately it's a forwarding-only service, and I use it so that I
can later change email provider without disruption.

I use Gmail's SMTP to send email at the moment. I don't think there's
much I can do. So unfortunately I don't know if I'm typing into the
void each time I send a message.
