Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain

HamalaKarris@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 129 points –

Hey guys,

after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun.

Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

I've been very happy with mxroute for quite a few years now. They have a summer deal going on for $40 a year for unlimited domains and accounts, you're only limited by storage (100GB) and outgoing emails per hour.
t would be helpful to know what you consider basic features you want the host to support, but catchall works.

I self-host my main email account, but use MXRoute as an outbound relay. Works great.

I do have some email accounts that use MXRoute. The Crossbox webmail system they use is very good.

Same here, very happy about mxroute, they even have a plan where you pay once for lifetime account.

+1 for mxroute. Happy customer since last black Friday. No fuss and just works (after reading the how-to). Also spam detection is good.
