#5It looks like the free tier is just instructions on how to fill out the TXT records on the domain. The paid tier is supposed to add a level of privacy, so you probably need to delete the dns records you created and follow their directions. I assume they have some kind of independent lookup service.

#8This looks like a good idea. But the website looks pretty basic. The 'help' option is just an email contact form to ask a question. A little more about how this service works would be useful. Is it just an email forwarding service, or does it allow you to send/receive emails without the other party seeing your true email address?
Yes, it is basic, but that's the advantage for me. I am just looking for quick and easy alternative to registrar forwarding.

Thank you. I am only asking here because it's been a couple of weeks since I opened the ticket and trying to contact the author via other means failed.

#10And I guanrantee you will get support from me with 10 mins during 8am-12pm PST. Outside that time I'll get to your ticket when I'm up asap.
Beside forward email, we also have SMTP to send out email so you don't have to rely on gmail.
