Email Forwarding for Your Domain

I have the same "confuse humans" problem. I use CloudFlare to forward ${company}@accounts.${me}.com to a personal GMail. I've had a limited number of cases where the sender will accept the address, but internally fail to send to it, Costco being one of them (the person in-store at Costco couldn't get over the address)
Spell the company backwards or make it into an acronym. That lets you detect who is selling your PII without alerting their customer support.

Thank you. I build this.
Originally every time I had a domain and start a project, I have to setup email. Other services always lack something that I want. So I ended up building my own and has been growing it since 2021.
We also had a RayCast extension developer by Xmok https://www.raycast.com/xmok/mailwip
We had some very advanced routing rule based on regex, and wildcard domain, work in progress to support sieve filter. Had web-hook and API so you can do some cool thing with emails.

Run your text through ChatGPT or something. There are some grammatical errors on your website

Ah yes, then we can have it hallucinate and totally misrepresent the concept. Terrible idea.
Purelymail https://purelymail.com/ and Migadu https://www.migadu.com/pricing/ and Zoho have better pricing and features for full inboxes and sending.
If you just want forwarding, there are free options like Cloudflare or ImprovMX.

I build this for this use case:
I already had an email somewhere. Anytime I got a new domain, I just want to forward to that email. Consolidate all of my email in a single place. And support SMTP so I can also reply through the domain as well.
I want a dead simple way to manage these alias, help family all know what is up by forwarding all emails to their individual emails.
I don't want to get charge per sear, or have to convince the others to switch to a new mailbox. Just forward to them.
I had stuff like kid@ travel@ school@ insurance@ forward both to my wife and me for example.
CloudFlare isn't easy to use for a non-tech person to manage their email. It also require that you point the DNS to CloudFlare. If the DNS is on Route53, you cannot use Cloudflare.
ImprvoMX is something I really admire but I just need more feature they don't support at the time (Maillog, webhook, regex routing, search email) So I build this for me as a user and have. been growing it.
With the alias, I can also block/null route after a certain use when I don't want to hear from that alias anymore. Impossible to do with a standalone inbox.
My wife love it. She got her own domain and use it when signing for deal/coupon website then null route the alias to prevent being bombarding later on.

ImprovMX recently sold to an American owner, though... So that's really not great.
The other services GP mentioned are already American too, though?
Zoho certainly isn't American but you choose your datacentre region on signup, including US locations.
Think it's a nice option to be able to get EU data protections without actually being a resident.
That said I don't get the objection? There's a high likelihood that the person sending you email is using a US service anyway, Apple, Gmail and Outlook have 90% marketshare between them.

Migadu isn’t American
purelymail.com still a solo gig? I don’t know because earlier the website talked about it, now it’s not mentioned.
So has the bus factor really changed?

This service was formerly named hanami.run , mentioning in case it looked familiar to some of us on HN.
The blog still has the name Hanami https://mailwip.com/blog/

It seems similar to Gmailify

I am happy customer of theirs, I think they are doing everything I would ever wanted, but good to know you are here as well...

When I've used another forwarding service in the past, things were weird with calendar and drive. I don't think drive is fixable but I'm curious if you have a working setup for calendar?
Hmm... My setup is that when I invite client for a call, I do this from my personal gmail and include business email as attendant (which goes through Gmailify). Now, when I get confirmation, I can confirm for both that they will attend, but I didn't try to see if I can open calendar with this other email. Based on this it sounds like it exists somewhere, but I really don't care as I have too many different things and all I want is to use my gmail accnt and look professional enough.
Hope this makes sense and sorry if it took longer to respond.

Is this necessary? Gmail and Namecheap do this for free. I recently set up a domain and was able to set up Gmail and Mail.app to both send and receive as that email.
I also use Fastmail and set that up with a domain no problem.
Maybe I’m missing what this is for.

The Namecheap email forwarding service quietly drops all email it thinks is spam. And their spam filter is too aggressive. There is no way to know that an email was dropped. I missed a lot if emails until I figured this out.
Yes, exactly this. Mailwip has 2 features to discover this
1- Mailog(opt-in, disable by default): Once enabling you can choose the detail of logging to see the delivery status. 2- Spam digest: (opt-in, disable by default). We will send a daily summarize if there is email we flagged and didn't forward to you.

Oh that’s interesting.
With mailbox.org I am in complete darkness if some mail was dropped after or before my mail client and mailbox.org support is well mailbox.org support. So I don’t really know what happened.
So if an email was dropped even from spam - there’s some log display interface for my account where I can see all this?
Or if something I was sending was dropped — I can see that as well in there? (Assuming neither were shown as a failure email in my mailbox)

Ugh. Thank you for mentioning this. I've actually forgotten about their spam filter dropping emails rather than letting downstream providers handle it.
Most of the time these service works. But when it doesn't work you just don't know how to debug it.
Mailwip.com has a mail log with the detail so you can debug delivery issue. Also, manage email with namecheap ui dns is something I just don't want to deal with.
I want some nice UI, that also enable a few member of family to self-manage the domain and forward rule.
Sometime I also want to have webhook to parse receipt email from the bank. So I ended up building all of this.
If gmail and namecheap works for you, no need to look further.

Aha, thank you!
I did not know about the silent drops. That is concerning.

If you want a custom domain with Gmail, you need to use Google workspace which costs like $8 a month or something like that.
Seems like a necessary service to me. I'm interested at least and I have a custom domain hosted with Google workspace.

I'm in the same boat, custom domain, but I'd like to get away from a US-hosted mail service if possible. Problem is, gDocs is pretty good for the price. I wish Proton had more workspace products like that.
I would like to hear a response to this query too.
But just leaving it here that Gmail has a limit of about 30 custom emails in a single mailbox, no?

The problem I've always had when forwarding addresses, at least to my Gmail, is that Gmail seems to credit all forwarded spam to the forwarding address, so if your forwarded email gets a lot of spam, it quickly starts sending a large percentage of even the legitimate forwarded email to spam. Is there a solution to that issue?
Instead I've taken to using the pop download option, but that has its own issues (mostly the long delay between downloads).

How does this compare to https://mxroute.com/?
Mxroute is an actual mailbox. This is just a forwarder.
Another option is https://forwardemail.net/en which has a really good free tier (if you don't mind managing forwarding rules in DNS)
I used to think this was hard. The founder of mailwip helped me iron it out. Well worth the price of admission.
How does this compare to ForwardMX?
How does this work? Certain shitty email providers, like Gmail, will consider a forwarding email server the source of spam when their spam filter doesn't like what's forwarded.
Cloudflare has this for free now iiuc
dhk I was wondering if we could get a lift to yoursand
Sifl full time you have a good time with you have a
I’m sure this is great - but just to remind peeps you can do this for free with Cloudflare
Except for replies
I manage multiple domains for my side projects. With Mailwip, I can forward all emails from these domains to my Gmail account. This setup allows me to effortlessly respond to customer emails directly from Gmail, consolidating all communications into a single account for convenience.

Not affiliated, just a happy customer. The biggest issue now is that my email addresses always confuse humans. They're always like "Your email address is [email protected]?" And I'm like yes... I don't work for your company, that's... I don't really want to explain this.
