A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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?

Great suggestion, thanks. For anyone reading through, it looks like it will just forward all the emails for a domain to a single email address, for free. That's definitely what I want for one of my domains. But the other one I've used some addresses for family, so that will have to go through a provider.

Not sure if that is what you mean, but you can also add different "redirection targets" for different addresses on the same domain in the free tier.

Ah yes! That's exactly what I had & need. Thank you.

Also - lol. I assumed this was a screenshot of your domain, and I was like, hang on...
