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!

    Side question. Does anybody know of a decent service that basically works as a smarthost for outgoing and will MX incoming emails back to a mail server I host? I’ve been self hosting email since the '90s and just don’t want all of my email stored elsewhere. The IP reputation chasing is just too much to deal with now.

      I played around with smtp2go and it felt like what you’re after.

      I know how you feel though. I self-hosted mail for about 5 years with a VPS running OpenBSD. Eventually I looked at “outsourcing” SMTP to get around this crazy IP reputation stuff. But eventually I went with a fully hosted service Migadu.

      You may like PurelyMail. I believe you can MX to an external server. I know they offer a free trial that may be worth giving a shot.
