mailcatcher VS free-email-forwarding

If you own the server, it might be easier to set up a little smtp client. Or to be more security conscious, a incoming only smtp client like https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher/ and collapse that dataflow. But pubsub has a monstrous free tier anyway and I also wanted to keep a copy of the emails on gmail which is easier to search

There are lots of ways to do this. Postfix is nice but a little heavy. The simplest and most functional way I've found is https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher since all it does is forward the emails. You can even use a throwaway gmail SMTP so it doesn't get send to spam

Easy to set up on a rpi/cheap VPS, as long as you have a hostname. And while you're there, look for a short domain name so it's fast to type (on credit card kiosks). You can get cheap short non-standard TLD's like .li. I got a 3 character domain for $5 a year, as short as bit.ly, but just for me

I use selhosted https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher with ddns domain on my raspberry pi

Maybe https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher

Have you seen our service yet? You might not have since we don't focus on ads/marketing too much; we've been dedicated to high-quality product efforts.

Our service is called Forward Email (https://forwardemail.net) and it's so easy to use we use it ourselves (dogfood style).

Although we don't have mail clients yet, we fully support Thunderbird and any other email client (e.g. K-9 Mail, FairEmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, Gmail, etc).

Our FAQ is extensive at https://forwardemail.net/faq and we walk you through set up, which is tailored to you based off your specific registrar/DNS provider. We also have instructions for SPF/DMARC/DKIM and more, so that you land in the inbox.

Lastly, unlike everyone else, we're actually 100% open-source on GitHub at https://github.com/forwardemail

See our service at https://forwardemail.net - we're actually 100% open-source (unlike everyone else that says they're open-source, but actually only has the front-end published). We're a great alternative and you can bring any mail client you want (e.g. Thunderbird).

Thanks for your feedback. We've updated our home page at https://forwardemail.net and added a dedicated link/section in our FAQ for "What is Forward Email" at https://forwardemail.net/faq#what-is-forward-email.

Forward Email team here (https://forwardemail.net), we have a write-up and comparison @ https://forwardemail.net/en/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encr...

We've considered adding a E2EE comparison column as well (with the issues such @ http://jfloren.net/b/2023/7/7/0 highlighted).

Unlike Skiff, Proton, and Tuta... we're _actually_ 100% open-source. Those providers that advertise as open-source really only open-source the front-end, when the back-end is the most sensitive part of an email service.

Has anyone used forwardemail.net to forward fully hosted email? I started using Hey for my gmail accounts and like it and want to fold in my Dreamhost email accounts but unfortunately that option doesn't exist for fully hosted anymore. I think I can use it but this is not my area of expertise.

https://forwardemail.net/ to allow me to forward various emails from all my domains to my paid Outlook account (that has various folders and filters setup).

Can I use forwardemail.net with my Gmail account?

Hello HNers,

I'm looking forward to have more "ownership" of my digital identity, and I want to start by controlling the domain of my e-mail addresses.

Been searching possible solutions and I think an e-mail forwarding service is a pretty good middleground, so I can keep my Gmail / Outlook accounts active while also being able to create "identities" on the fly.

It has come down to three different services:
