Can't recommend it enough. Great reliability and ease of use. Excellent spam protection. If email is important to you, pay for it.

#42Is anyone else's spam protection on par with Google Mail's? That's the GApps killer feature. The rest of their groupware suite, especially Writely/Document editing, is pretty mediocre, IMO.

In my experience, good spam protection is a commodity.

#43Using mailgun now for incoming email, have it set to POST emails to my http endpoint which saves them to database and send a copy to another address.

#44Rackspace's hosted mail services are very good. I've used the hosted Exchange ($10/mailbox/month) and they have a lower-end service for $2/mailbox/month.
Support and reliability have been exceptional.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Correct. It's no longer free. I have it on an older domain, and it's still free, grandfathered in. I recently signed up with a new domain, and I'm paying for it on that domain.
If you sign into the admin panel of the grandfathered domain you can add the new domain to that Google Apps Account. Granted any settings will effect all the domains associated with that account.
I realise HN doesn't like people saying 'thanks, me too'... however... in this particular case I just wanted to say "Thanks!!!" ... I'd not realised you could do this and I'm now 5 minutes into migrating a few domains across. Brilliant.

#46https://mailinabox.email/ on a 1gb DigitalOcean droplet. Will cost $10/mo and you get full control / unlimited accounts and aliases.
Curious if anyone here (possibly besides parent) who is running this in production? I thought it looked like the best option for a custom configurable stack (and keeping it up-to-date with security fixes), but there are so many moving parts in a full e-mail stack. Any experiences good or bad?
It is absolute insanity to run your own email unless you have a sysadmin team.

For fastmail aliases that all forward to the same box, if you reply to them do they show your actual email, or the alias that it was sent to?

The powerful FastMail Web Interface to the rescue.
You can set up a 'Personailty' address to match the alias, & select that when sending the reply. There may be a way to always use a specific personality with certain addresses, but I haven't used the feature in so long I don't remember.

#50This one is pretty good and it's free, but it's Russian – https://pdd.yandex.ru/
The user interface for end clients actually has an option for both English and Russian.
If you worry about "weird foreign website", don't, this is Yandex, a large, famous, public company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yandex
