email addresses

My internet provider is discontinuing email service. Is my icloud email address a stand-alone address I can use independent of my internet provider's email address or is it irrevocably attached to my internet provider's email address? In the icloud portion of my apple id it shows the icloud address as being an "alias" of my apple ID email address.

I use the original email "@mac.com" Can I stop receiving "@icloud.com" emails? I was one of the early adopters for getting an @mac.com email. Over the years Apple added @me.com and @icloud.com so if anyone emails any of those addresses I get them all in my @mac.com inbox. Lately I've been getting a lot of emails to my @icloud.com address. Mostly these emails are a result of people using that address when signing up for accounts with stores. Is there a way I can make it so any emails coming to the @icloud.com simply bounce back to the sender as undeliverable? Thanks in advance.

If your iCloud address is an alias to your ID, it is tied to the ID, not the email address.
