I've been using email aliases from my own domains for about five years now, mainly for banks, utilities, and shopping, with no major issues until recently. I thought my alias used with my property management company was bouncing emails, especially community blasts, since I still receive invoices from them. Today, I got confirmation when they sent me a screenshot stating: "Not delivered - Unable to send to this domain: Spam Trap." I'm looking for some insight into whether this is something I should address on my end or if it's an issue the property management needs to fix with their email service.

Without knowing more about the alias service you're using, it's tough to say what might be happening. If the service is geared more toward personal privacy, they might have a worse track record of allowing spammers through, which can raise red flags.
Have you checked if the alias service you're using has more of a reputation for personal than corporate use? Privacy-focused services might struggle with blocking spam as effectively since they tend to attract spammers' addresses too.
It’s likely that your property management’s marketing team needs to reach out to their email platform. These services maintain a good sending reputation and filter out potential spammers. Email traps exist to catch those who misuse email systems, so it could be a false positive. This isn't necessarily your fault but requires them to check into it.
Thanks for breaking that down! I get the technical side but feel stuck since it’s up to them to fix it.
Just to clarify, I use a simple dot com domain based on my name, and I only give out aliases, not my main email. I thought that was a safe approach.
