I've had a different Gmail account a while ago.

And I noticed that the amount of spam had increased after I emailed a recruiter from an IT recruitment consultancy.

After a while, e-mails from recruiters from other companies started coming in. Some were terribly persistent. And then outright spam began.

I closed the old account and am using a different one.

For work purposes, I use a separate domain name and Email Forwarding by Cloudflare. Mail is routed to the personal inbox of a new Gmail account. Google allows me to send outgoing email from the domain through their SMTP servers. However, sometimes they end up in the recipients' spam boxes, probably because of the MTA chain.

I actively use SimpleLogin in cases when I register on a new website when I am not sure about its security in terms of storing user data or possible mailing lists.

In addition, I own a free domain where Email Forwarding is set up as Catch All with sending to Protonmail. It cut the time to manage unwanted emails almost to zero.
