Can you elaborate on this? I.E., give an example of how to set this up. This requires the domain be pointed to Fastmail's DNS servers?
I manage my own DNS records at a 3rd party DNS service and for some years I split my MX records between Fastmail and Tuffmail in the early days of Fastmail when it wasn't as reliable as it is now but am not doing so now. I now use my alternate email provider (Tuffmail) for additional domains not hosted at Fastmail. Am still considering where to move those before year end.
