I own a custom domain, i.e myself.com. I would like to make all email sent to me@myself.com to be delivered to myself@hotmail.com. I do not want to use Google's Google Apps, or Microsoft's Live Admins. Is this possible using DNS only?

What exactly is a "custom" domain? How is myself.com different from any other domain that makes it "custom"? – joeqwerty Aug 22 '12 at 14:48

No, it is not. You can only designate WHICH SERVER handles ALL emails for a domain, nothing else.
You can not rewrite the email, nor forward only specific addresses.

Hotmail is the same as Microsoft Live, so you could do this by setting up custom domains to accept mail via an additional domain, and then create an alias for me@myself.com. Mail sent to myself@hotmail.com or me@myself.com will end up in the same mailbox.
DNS has no part in email redirection. MX records in DNS just specify which servers handle mail for a given domain.

I use a product from zoneedit.com. It allows me to manage my DNS and set up custome forwards for all email headed to my domain. I hand out my me@mydomain.com address to everyone and have zoneedit forward it to gmail. from there I tell gmail to send the reply-to as the same address. Zoneedit doe the same for web pages, etc. Check it out
