Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain
Hey guys,
after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun.
Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase.
Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business.
Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Side question. Does anybody know of a decent service that basically works as a smarthost for outgoing and will MX incoming emails back to a mail server I host? I've been self hosting email since the '90s and just don't want all of my email stored elsewhere. The IP reputation chasing is just too much to deal with now.
You may like PurelyMail. I believe you can MX to an external server. I know they offer a free trial that may be worth giving a shot.
I played around with smtp2go and it felt like what you’re after.
I know how you feel though. I self-hosted mail for about 5 years with a VPS running OpenBSD. Eventually I looked at “outsourcing” SMTP to get around this crazy IP reputation stuff. But eventually I went with a fully hosted service Migadu.
