OP, not that this may yield any quick results, but this post should be emailed to Eddy Cue (cue@), the SVP of services, and Tim Cook (tcook@) at Apple. Some of the emails sent to them do get responses.
iCloud+ custom email domains should be better

#92I will once again recommend Fastmail for any family that uses a custom domain. You legacy G-suiters have a couple months left!
I switched to Migadu yesterday after seeing some positive reviews here, and I’ve no complaints so far.
+1 Been with Migadu since 2017 with no complaints. Lost some mails on an account due to a migration of sorts on their end though that was eventually restored after a ticket.
Michael and his crew are fantastic in progressively introducing new features that you may never find elsewhere (https://www.migadu.com/guides/index.html#features).
Your end users may hate the sparse webmail features though that's nothing that Thunderbird or Outlook may not resolve. HTH!

Why not use iCloud’s private email feature to generate a new email that forwards to your regular email for these purposes?
Just my personal opinion, but the reason I got a domain to start with was to not be dependent on a specific provider. Also, it's is far nicer to be able to simply sign up to a website with company@example.com than go generate a random email. Especially if you are on another device.
doesn't this lock you in with the domain provider? google domains or whatever you use

You can migrate your domain to a different registrar

I use "-" instead of "+" with a regex: "/^name-.*@mydomain\.tld$/". Then I block them when I get spam after they get compromised. Many spammers already know to remove anything after the +-sign. But I must admit that the biggest benefit of this setup, was listening to my girlfriend on the the phone explaining to someone, at some company, the reason that their name was part of the email-address: "That is because if I g…
I do something similar, it's been fun journey of issues over the years. One company gave me a free version of their paid offering because my email address was me@them.my.domain, which triggered their "is an employee?" check. (I reported it to a friend who worked there, but they didn't prioritize fixing it. Lasted a while.) Uber tried to make me change my email address because: > As much as we appreciate your enthusia…
Zomato refused the same to me as well, and I use otamoz@ instead. My Uber email is uber@ though, haven’t had any issues.

#96I would say another main issue is that while they ask you to setup DKIM records, they do not actually DKIM-sign your emails. Hence your mails may be more easily flagged as spam. Several people have reported this to Apple, but AFAIK it still hasn’t been fixed.
I've read on Macrumors that some folks draft their emails on Desktop/Phone and then send them via Web as a workaround. Seriously?

Re: iCloud+ custom email domains should be better
#98Catch-all addresses are a must have for me now. I allocate unique addresses to every website as these are more robust then using the + operator because they can't be stripped off. I've already busted one company (I presume selling) my email address to a cloud provider for them to send me marketing material. I emailed their privacy officer and didn't even get a reply, but that's OK, if it continues, one sieve rule and…

Who? So we can avoid them.

At least one news website threatened to shut my (expensive) paid account because I was using a "generic" email address, and as such, was likely sharing my credentials.
They insisted I change the email to myname@myname.tld, which was enough in their books to prevent credential sharing.
