hey, I've just bought a domain name and would like to send emails from [email protected]. I can use an alias from my hotmail/gmail account, but the recipient sometimes sees it as "[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]". Is there a way to only show "[email protected]"? Any free SMTP servers I can setup/use? thanks

Because of spam, most (if not all) ISP and email providers will not allow you to spoof an email using their SMTP servers.
You will need to sign up for a hosted email package which will provide you with an SMTP server for use with your domain.
The registrar of your domain may offer such a package.
If not there are many hosting providers which offer email only packages.
One non-free option is to sign up for a Google Workspace (formerly Google G Suite, formerly Google Apps) account which gives you a full Gmail account (also Google Docs, Google Calendar and more) but using your domain instead of @gmail.com

+1 for a good answer, and the recommendation of Google Apps standard. Commented Oct 13, 2011 at 8:26

I believe google charges for every single account on the g-suite, no? Can you confirm that one can use any address on a domain with g-suite without creating further (paying) accounts? Commented Oct 29, 2020 at 9:07

@SteveHorvath yes they do charge per mailbox. However you can set up multiple aliases to that mailbox– ShevekCommented Oct 29, 2020 at 13:48

I am lucky enough to have one of the grandfathered free G Suite accounts before they went paid, so I couldn't tell you if they charge for additional aliases now though– ShevekCommented Oct 29, 2020 at 13:49
