My host banned catchall addresses, which host do you use that allows this? (great advice btw, this has saved me too)

I pay €1/month for Tutanota which lets me have five aliases, however using DNS redirection with my domain I can have a unique receive address per website.

Proton mail allows this. A free alternative would be using the abc+websitename@domain.com trick. Gmail allows this, but unfortunately some websites wont accept the + sign as valid character in an email field.

fastmail.com allows it. I'm apparently paying "legacy account" rates, which probably highly tempers my recommendation. I pay something like $5 or $12 a year for service. 500mb mailbox. I don't use calendar or anything else so i have no idea if those are restricted.

  I'm on the $95/2 year plan, with about 30GB stoage, and have several domains attached, all set up for catchalls. Trying to explain to a business why their name is in the email address you just filled out on a form is fun sometimes, though, but the only complete rejection I've gotten for it though is the guy who runs the main groups.io for one of my amateur radio transceivers and can't wrap his head around my address not being some attempt at fraud.

    On rare occasion I’ve encountered companies (let’s say foo.com) that prohibit the string “foo.com” from being in the email address I sign up with — some slightly broken defense against preclaim or impersonation attacks I guess?

    I've just started using random triples/quartets of letters at my domain. There's pretty slim advantageein literally getting email from bestbuy@mydomain.net.

    > Trying to explain to a business why their name is in the email address you just filled out on a form is fun Hah yep, been using this strategy for years and a lot of times they ask if I'm an employee. Once Verizon customer support asked me "you got a problem with Verizon?" My email address was VerizonSucks@mydomain.com.

      verizon@enslaves.us gets similar questions ;) I do have another domain that's less confrontational, and I also sometimes use a normal sounding address in person.

privateemail by namecheap allows aliases at different tiers. The Ultimate at $72/yr allows unlimited aliases: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/?utm_nooverride=1&utm_source=privateemail.com&utm_medium=landing_page&utm_campaign=try_it_for_free https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/?utm_nooverride=1&ut... I use a lower tier for my domains and I've been happy with it for a year or so.

Panix.com allows unlimited email addresses in the format: whatever@myname.users.panix.com where "whatever" is anything you like, and "myname" is your email name. (You also have the address "myname@panix.com".) I've been challenged on this only once. And I've been able to tell a company that its email list has been compromised. Disclaimer: Just a happy customer.
