Ask HN: What do you use for custom domain emails?
I'm currently exploring options to create an email with a custom domain for a project I'm working on, but not sure what direction to go with.
I'm aware of google workspace, but it seems a bit of an overkill and I would ideally prefer a free option since all I'm looking for is a single email to send and receive from.
My domain is on Cloudflare, so I'm thinking of using their email routing service, which is free, and just route emails to a gmail account. But then there's the sending problem, which I don't think Cloudflare handles.
Should I just bite the bullet and go with Google workspace? I've also heard some good things about using iCloud for custom email domains.
Any insights would be great!

- gladwindos 2y agoI've never heard of this, but I'll check it out. Thanks!
- lnyan 2y agoYou can use mailchannels to send emails with cloudflare workers https://blog.cloudflare.com/sending-email-from-workers-with-mailchannels https://blog.cloudflare.com/sending-email-from-workers-with-...
- gladwindos 2y agoI had a look at this, but the setup seems like it's for automated emails. I'm mainly looking to be able to personally send from the custom email without ending up in spam...

- noashavit 2y agoZoho mail is quite affordable, but you won't be able to email directly through cloudflare with any 3rd party, so keep that in mind
- gladwindos 2y agoZoho is another one I'm actually considering as I think it's free for one email
