Dec 4, 2019 at 18:50 comment added Alan Dixon The key problem with using a single mailbox is that the domain will need to be configured for deliverability from your server, i.e. using SPF records, so you need some control over the domain, which you're not going to get from @gmail or any other domain that you don't own (unless it's provided by whoever is doing your bounce processing, e.g. typically a dedicated service provider like UAS).
Dec 4, 2019 at 18:49 comment added Alan Dixon Using a single mailbox to process your bounces is possible if it supports "tagging" (usually called subadressing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Sub-addressing). But that's not required for bounce processing, and the more industrial way is to use a dedicated domain (typically a subdomain of your main domain, but not necessarily).
