    That’s actually how I use it. My email address, jason -at- hendriks -dot- ca, is a Gmail address.

    Jasons-Mac-Pro:plugins jasonhendriks$ dig mx hendriks.ca | grep MX
    ;hendriks.ca.			IN	MX
    hendriks.ca.		3532	IN	MX	1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
    hendriks.ca.		3532	IN	MX	5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
    hendriks.ca.		3532	IN	MX	5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
    hendriks.ca.		3532	IN	MX	10 ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

    I use the free Google Apps Standard Edition to manage my domains. Unfortunately Standard Edition stopped accepting new users at the end of 2012 and now I think your only Google option is to pay for Google Apps for Work.

    Hotmail and Yahoo might have custom domain solutions, but I don’t use their services.

    If you don’t want to pay for Google, in your case I would create a new Gmail account for my wordpress site (eg. “[email protected]”), and then I would set the reply-to field (in Postman, and for example in the header section of Contact Form 7) to be my real name and domain (eg. “Joe” <[email protected]>).

    Thanks for using the plugin and please give it a rating and review!! ??

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    My WP site is set up with a gmail address. I’m using a giveaway plugin which sends automatic emails. In the settings of this plugin I’ve set [email protected] as the From and Reply-to address.

    However, in the from field my gmail address still appears…

    I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear enough in my first message. This can’t be done without Google Apps managing your domain. Gmail automatically re-writes the from address with your proper Gmail address before it delivers your e-mail. Forging from addresses is a common spammer tactic and Gmail won’t allow fake from address with OAuth.
