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?

    I’m not sure if mailbox encrypts their calendar and contacts. I know tuta and Proton do but I self host that stuff anyway so I don’t care.

    I use to selfhost everything, including email. However, emailing anyone from my domain I was 99% of the time in the spam list if it went though at all. I got fed up and paid someone to do it for me.

      Yeah I self host a lot of stuff, but don’t bother with email. I feel like it’s one of the hardest to configure and maintain, then there’s the spam folder issue you just said.
