Apple One Is Custom Email reliable?

[woolypants]

I'd like to use the iCloud Custom Email feature to get email from a personal email domain I'm currently having forwarded via Dreamhost.

The trouble is, I've used iCloud email in the past and found it to be unreliable. It seems to have invisible spam filtering, which means some messages just disappear if Apple believes they're spam. I used to use an iCloud.com address for my business and actually lost work because of this.

Does this spam filtering happen with Custom Email? Or does it just send EVERYTHING through to your email?

I use protonmail with a custom domain, precisely because how poor of a job icloud does with spam filter, and the lack of customization/configurations.

I don't hate icloud email, and I use it, but I've been limiting it to just mac stuff I buy/use/register via my appleid.

Never had ANY mails disappeared. At worst, they go directly into "Spam". 🤔

Well, how do you know?

That's literally the problem.

It's a situation where paranoia sets it, and you dismiss it initially, until you get a few cases where you can prove it.
