I have many email aliases in a couple of domains, that I use them for my
"envelope From".  I'm guessing I could not do that if I made Gmail
my sendmail 'smarthost'.  

I'm trying, slowly to get away from google.
I'm very dependent on them, but it's a goal. I just got a nextcloud account,
on a non profit's vps, so I will be learning about that.
