[Support Guide] How can I receive emails on my domain?

So my email is hosted by DreamIt, is this considered ‘self-hosted’? I see that that Gmail can be configured to go to a custom domain (like artemist.com.au) but it seems strange that the only way to use this email address with Netlify is to set up a gmail account, have netlify point to that and then have gmail point to my email server.

Just seems a little convoluted for such a forward thinking company like Netlify…

Also there is this quote from the start of the link you posted:

Any mail provider should work with our DNS hosting, from major ones like GSuite and Outlook to your own mail server.

So you can see why I am a little confused that I can’t seem to get it work directly with my mail server at DreamIt
