That's not true anymore (from September on).
Oops, I missed that. Now I will probably have to self-host. Or start using my disroot address again.

Re: Ask HN: How do you manage email on a custom domain?
#32I highly recommend Fastmail [0] for this purpose. I have been with them for 5 years, and they're rock solid. I have ~10 domains on it, they support wildcards (send/recv at anything@you.com), the composer has sane defaults for multiple domains (e.g. replies are sent from the address it was mailed to) that can be overridden when you need, and you can easily create masked emails using your own domain. $50/yr for all tha…
Fastmail is great, untill your wife and kids also need an e-mail account. Then it get's expensive real quick.

#33I also use FastmIl, have been for over ten years now and zero issues. Recently I’ve been creating a unique email names e.g. apple@mydomain.com to see where spam comes from or if one of the services I sign up with gets breached my main personal email stays clear and I can just kill the unique name. That’s free on Fastmail.

#36I am currently using this setup:
- Sending through *Protonmail*, using Protonmail DKIM
- Receiving via *Cloudflare Email*, using workers to forward to multiple addresses:
export default {
async email(message, env, ctx) {
await Promise.all([
message.forward("me@email.com"),
message.forward("me2@email.com"),
]);
}
}
Cloudflare is needed because of how ProtonMail works, it doesn't allow forwarding the emails (because it would break their encryption protocol).Also wrote this short article on using/securing your own domain name for emails: https://www.uxwizz.com/blog/stop-others-use-your-domain-emai...
