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.
If it is just for email forwarding maybe a service like https://anonaddy.com/ or https://simplelogin.io would work. Catch-all is even included in the anonaddy free plan as that is something you actually do not want to have enabled 😄 For your custom domain you have to have the lite plan at least though.
Oh okay, I wasn’t sure since you mentioned email forwarding and I saw a couple offerings (like Cloudflare) that only offer email forwarding if I understood correctly.

Sorry I should have clarified that I’m not just looking to receive but also send emails from botj of the domains that I use.
Edit: do you mind clarifying why using catchall is a bad idea :)?
They do allow to reply, simplelogin also has no limitation on reply count.

Thanks again! I’m gonna check them out.
