The trend of taking proprietary, close-source software and slapping an "Open-" name on it is bad form, but otherwise this looks like a good solution.

This is working now. We use G Suite to create email aliases, and for some reason the permissions automatically set to "Private".

It looks like McAfee has listed it as a parked domain: Your requested URL has been blocked by the McAfee Web Gateway URL Filter database module. The URL is listed in categories that are not allowed by your administrator at this time. URL: https://www.openunit.com/ URL Categories: Parked Domain Reputation: Unverified

Woh, are you familiar with this? I've never had to navigate around a flagging like that. Thank you for bringing this you my attention.

Looks like its still blocked.
