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.

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 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.

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.
