FWIW, I use forwardemail.net. Been using them a few years and haven't had any issues. They've got a free plan but you have to put your email in the public DNS record, or $3/mo to keep your email private.
Not affiliated, just a happy customer. The biggest issue now is that my email addresses always confuse humans. They're always like "Your email address is MyCompany@YourDomain.com?" And I'm like yes... I don't work for your company, that's... I don't really want to explain this.

Thank you. I build this.
Originally every time I had a domain and start a project, I have to setup email. Other services always lack something that I want. So I ended up building my own and has been growing it since 2021.
We had some very advanced routing rule based on regex, and wildcard domain, work in progress to support sieve filter. Had web-hook and API so you can do some cool thing with emails.

I manage multiple domains for my side projects. With Mailwip, I can forward all emails from these domains to my Gmail account. This setup allows me to effortlessly respond to customer emails directly from Gmail, consolidating all communications into a single account for convenience.
If you just want forwarding, there are free options like Cloudflare or ImprovMX.

I build this for this use case:
I already had an email somewhere. Anytime I got a new domain, I just want to forward to that email. Consolidate all of my email in a single place. And support SMTP so I can also reply through the domain as well.
I want a dead simple way to manage these alias, help family all know what is up by forwarding all emails to their individual emails.
I don't want to get charge per sear, or have to convince the others to switch to a new mailbox. Just forward to them.
I had stuff like kid@ travel@ school@ insurance@ forward both to my wife and me for example.
CloudFlare isn't easy to use for a non-tech person to manage their email. It also require that you point the DNS to CloudFlare. If the DNS is on Route53, you cannot use Cloudflare.
ImprvoMX is something I really admire but I just need more feature they don't support at the time (Maillog, webhook, regex routing, search email) So I build this for me as a user and have. been growing it.
With the alias, I can also block/null route after a certain use when I don't want to hear from that alias anymore. Impossible to do with a standalone inbox.
My wife love it. She got her own domain and use it when signing for deal/coupon website then null route the alias to prevent being bombarding later on.

ImprovMX recently sold to an American owner, though... So that's really not great.
DaSHacka · 55m ago
The other services GP mentioned are already American too, though?
holuponemoment · 28m ago
Zoho certainly isn't American but you choose your datacentre region on signup, including US locations.
Think it's a nice option to be able to get EU data protections without actually being a resident.
That said I don't get the objection? There's a high likelihood that the person sending you email is using a US service anyway, Apple, Gmail and Outlook have 90% marketshare between them.

Migadu isn’t American

This service was formerly named hanami.run , mentioning in case it looked familiar to some of us on HN.
Is this necessary? Gmail and Namecheap do this for free. I recently set up a domain and was able to set up Gmail and Mail.app to both send and receive as that email.
I also use Fastmail and set that up with a domain no problem.
Maybe I’m missing what this is for.

Most of the time these service works. But when it doesn't work you just don't know how to debug it.
Mailwip.com has a mail log with the detail so you can debug delivery issue. Also, manage email with namecheap ui dns is something I just don't want to deal with.
I want some nice UI, that also enable a few member of family to self-manage the domain and forward rule.
Sometime I also want to have webhook to parse receipt email from the bank. So I ended up building all of this.
If gmail and namecheap works for you, no need to look further.

The Namecheap email forwarding service quietly drops all email it thinks is spam. And their spam filter is too aggressive. There is no way to know that an email was dropped. I missed a lot if emails until I figured this out.

If you want a custom domain with Gmail, you need to use Google workspace which costs like $8 a month or something like that.
Seems like a necessary service to me. I'm interested at least and I have a custom domain hosted with Google workspace.

I would like to hear a response to this query too.
But just leaving it here that Gmail has a limit of about 30 custom emails in a single mailbox, no?

You used gmail with your own domain for free?
davchana · 54m ago
No, he made namecheap forward incoming emails to domain to his email.

Another option is https://forwardemail.net/en which has a really good free tier (if you don't mind managing forwarding rules in DNS)
