Obviously you reached the right audience and they liked what they saw to post it here and generate so much interest. Consider me another subscriber!

I'm sorry if I missed it, but do you do catchall email service for custom domains? My current email provider ( https://mailbox.org ) limits email aliases per price plan, the most basic that I currently use allows for 3 + a free root@ and webmaster@. I'd probably be convinced to go through the hassle and switch providers if your service provides an improvement over this limit.
If you need more than three domains, try Migadu(not affiliated, just happy customer), they have no formal limits to their "micro" plan and is cheaper than FastMail. Migadu also allows adding alias domains(something I haven't seen anywhere), basically if you have a mailbox like "merlinscholz@domain.tld" you can attach some more domains as alias, like "@domain2.tld" "@domainx.tld" and those will all receive/send/operate as the same "merlinscholz@domain.tld". Neat feature I haven't found yet on other services.

Yes, we have catchalls. We don't restrict how you route anything under your domain, and you can send from any email address you own.

#85I'm not sure price is the parameter to compete on for email services, at least for me. Email is extremely important to most businesses, and if I'm already paying for a domain, and running a business, even the $70 for a Workspace solution is a drop in the bucket. What I need, however, is deliverability, strong privacy and security, good spam filtering, and support when I need it. I'd encourage you to try doubling or t…

#86These tiny services are cool. I have the cheapest account on Migadu[1] for all my random custom domain emails. 1. https://www.migadu.com
Plus one. Great, small Swiss shop with decent support and response time. Never had any issues with them.

#87I have a question: if this is hosted on AWS, what (and I'm sure there's something, I just don't know what ) is stopping Amazon from accessing my mail and using it for whatever?
I believe this is part of the AWS's explicit policy, possibly also in the terms of service: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/ It would be crazy suicidal for their cloud business to break it, and possibly open them up to lawsuit.

#88I appreciate the dig at psuedo-righteous slogan-eering like "Don't be evil.", "Bring the worked closer together". Just fucking email.

Two questions from me:- Usernames on shared domains: 1 to 6 letters: $1.00 per user per year 7 to 12 letters: $0.25 per user per year 13+ letters: $0.10 per user per year 1. Why does the length of a mailbox name make a difference? 2. Do you support IPv6?
