It used to be possible to configure your Gmail inbox to send email as you@yourdomain.com by simply redirecting that email address to your inbox, and then sending through a confirmation email.
But since a recent change, that's not possible anymore and you now need to set up a full SMTP server.
My question is, what is the recommended technique/service to use to regain the previous functionality? Use a third-party SMTP provider? If so, which one?
Yes, Google suggests using the SMTP servers of @yourdomain.com.
If you are able to log in / read and send mail from there you should be able to use this process:

Log into your domain and find the SMTP server information
Add that to the Google Settings.
Note: all of my Google accounts have the old settings so I am not able to fully test this feature. Please let us know what you find if this is not enough information.
