Muchado about mail

I put my less used email address on my most recent set of moo cards. Someone sent an email there. It took me a while to notice. So I decided to setup a rule to forward to my regular account from the lesser used/known account. The rule works I see the message come and go but it has to make a couple hops and I think comshaft is dropping the message cause they suck. I can forward it manually and send stuff manually just fine.

This left me with a slight predicament as to what to do about this self caused problem.

Option one: Redirect mail at the dns/mx level or use a service for such things.
easy enough to do but I like having a mail server for testing shit with.

Option two: Check secondary address more. Not hard to do but I'm pretty lazy but this is what I have been doing so far.

Option three: move all mail to secondary mail server. No good if it goes down.

Option four: redirect all mail from all my addresses to something like gmail. Google already knows too much about me.

Option five: Allow phone to check it and notify me of new messages. This is what I did. This kind of goes hand in hand with option two.
