In Gmail, I have "Reply-To:" set to someone at mydomain.tld

Also, I have many addresses @mydomain.tld that forward to Gmail.

So, I check only one mail box, and don't deal with POP, spam
filtering, ...etc. Google does that for me, so less work ...

The article describes getting SMTP to work with everything including
restrictive mail servers that have DMARC enabled.

It does not address the other side (POP/IMAP).

And PTR, which is very important for DMARC.
