She is on TalkTalk - as am I - and I don't get any errors

Newcad said:i once had an email service shut down on me and lost a few years of emails.That's why I registered my own internet domain several years ago, I haven't put a website on it I just use it for my own email 'me@myname.uk' address. (Currently costs me £12 a year).It doesn't matter who I have supplying my broadband, my domain and email is mine.I do also have a couple of different gmails as well. (I forward those to my own so the gmails act as a cut-out and are fairly disposable if ever in a data breach).

However, your wife's subdomain is custom and unknown to Google and TalkTalk, therefore the recent changes they have made for all Gmail accounts are refusing the emails. Using subdomains in general is a bit custom nowadays and there is likely nothing you can do about this except for your wife getting a new email address without the subdomain.
Personally I would move away from ISP based domain names to something more permanent, like gmail.com or outlook.com. But maybe thats for another day.1 -
Rather than "Wife@mouldyolddough.gotadsl.co.uk" you could simply set up an alias: "Wife@gotadsl.co.uk".ie So that your email address is the master mailbox address and your wife's email address is an alias for the master mailbox address.(Of course if you want to keep your mailboxes totally seperated then maybe not.)She would (should) then have the same domain settings/verifications as you.She would have to inform all her contacts of the change of course, and update all accounts etc. that have her current address.
