I have an ancient domain that for years has been hosted with a company that allowed wildcard email forwarding - so *@example.com was forwarded to my gmail. So over the years, I’ve just used a new email address for every signup of anything.
Sadly, the company is getting out of hosting, so I need to move the domain somewhere. The commercial email hosting I’ve seen seen around is all paid for per mailbox.
Is there a commercial email host that would allow a wildcard like that?
I have low desire to run my own email hosting, but perhaps if it’s just a bunch of forwards that might be simpler?
Cloudflare has a catch-all option that you can enable, but they only allow you to receive emails not send them. https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/setup/email-routing-addresses/
They actually recently opened a beta for sending emails from Workers as well. There are already a few projects to make use of this, examples:
You might want to transfer your domain to another registrar. I use namecheap and they have a “catch all” option that’s free to use. You just set a single forwarding email and everything sent to your domain arrives there.
Migadu is the best email hoster I know. I’ve been using them for all my emails during the last three years and never had an issue.
They allow catch-all recipients and forwarding, so your use-case should be possible.
If you just wanted email forwarding, cloudflare support it. If I remember correctly, it’s included in their free plan
