I have an ancient domain that for years has been hosted with a company that allowed wildcard email forwarding - so *@example.com was forwarded to my gmail. So over the years, I’ve just used a new email address for every signup of anything.

Sadly, the company is getting out of hosting, so I need to move the domain somewhere. The commercial email hosting I’ve seen seen around is all paid for per mailbox.

Is there a commercial email host that would allow a wildcard like that?

I have low desire to run my own email hosting, but perhaps if it’s just a bunch of forwards that might be simpler?

    Get the cheapest vps you can find and run mailcow. Use SMTP relay option (with Mailgun, Amazon SES, etc) if the provider disallow outbound SMTP.

      Yep, I can live with no sending, so a forwarding only solution works. I didn’t know about the SMTP relays, but a couple of people have mentioned them. I guess I’d try without that first - it might be luck if my ip/hosting service has low trust with gmail.
