Any good email services that offer unlimited aliases on custom domains at a reasonable price, or are you running that yourself?
- drexlspivey 5y agoYou can use a catchall, no need to set an alias for each address. Fastmail is very often recommended around here
- wlesieutre 5y agoDoes that not get you a bunch of extra spam that's been blasted at made up addresses?
- ta988 5y agoI have my custom server for that. Yes it happens, the occasional mail on root@ etc but that's negligible compared to normal level of spam.
- AhtiK 5y agoyou can just add +myalias to most email services and get it delivered automatically. E.g. first.second+github@gmail.com delivers to firstsecond@gmail.com
- vladvasiliu 5y agoBut this is a quite well-known technique, so if someone is at least a little smart along the way, they can easily strip the +github part.
- jjoonathan 5y agoNot just "can," they do strip the + part. Especially the sketchy ones. Or they barf. I tried this for a while and had a 30% success rate. It was dismal.
- ta988 5y agospammers strip the + and some websites refuse them. I switched to other symbols on my own server to go around that.
- sodality2 5y agoMigadu mail is very cheap, been using them for almost a year now with zero interruption or issues. Unlimited custom domains, unlimited aliases, etc for $20/yr
- thex10 5y agoI had just started using this one, enjoying it so far!
- neogodless 5y agohttps://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/ https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/ $15/year (plus the cost of the domain) Currently using the middle tier and have been very happy with it. Note that codified aliases are limited, but you can create a catch-all account. I have not needed to codify aliases to send "as" one of those accounts.
- criddell 5y agoIf you are in the Apple ecosystem, you can do custom domains for $1 / month using iCloud+.
- neogodless 5y agoDoes this include catch-all / unlimited aliases?
- WorldMaker 5y agoIf you are all-in on the Apple ecosystem you can get unlimited aliases with Apple's "Hide My Email" system.
- ARandomerDude 5y agoFastmail.com (No affiliation beyond being a happy customer.)
- saimiam 5y agoPretzelBox.cc (my project) does this along with a blog, a file storage area, and hosting. Final pricing is still TBD but if you join the beta list, we are handing out huge discounts which’ll bring your effective cost between $5-15/month for everything.
- wishinghand 5y agoI've only used it once or twice, but Fastmail has something like this as part of their lowest paid tier.
- neogodless 5y agohttps://www.fastmail.com/pricing/ https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/ Actually have to step up to $5/month (per user) to get custom domain names.
