Hello friends, I am considering using some of my domains for email in addition to my self hosted stuff and i cannot stress enough how much i do not want to host and run my own email service. My objective is to find a service that i can hook up with Gmail, so i think it’d have to do mail forwarding and submission/SMTP for sending mails. Mostly just myself, but maybe a few others too. I don’t want to spend twenty bucks per domain though. Does anyone have suggestions?

Many paid email services such as Mailbox.org or Protonmail allow you to use custom domains. You don’t need gmail.
But like Gmail tho
I see.
Gmail also offers the option to use a custom domain. It’s aimed at businesses but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to use it as a private person.
For sending I am using smtp2go. It’s free if you send less than 1,000 emails a month.
For receiving my dns host provides free email forwardingCheck into Google workspaces, it’s a paid service now but I got a family email set up 20 years ago and it’s awesome. You get all the access to Google stuff, administration, there’s plugins and stuff it’s just a Google account with a cooler email and an admin panel really.
Microsoft offers custom email domains for Office365 family plans, but looks like they’re closing that to new customers in November
I only know of Microsoft and email from the corporate world and instinctively want to put as much distance as I can between that and myself. How is it working for you?
I don’t personally use it, but from what I’ve heard the folks that do love it, and I was considering it until I saw they were deprecating it, so presumably at some point you’d be forced into either one of their more popular consumer Office365 products or into one of the entry level M365 business tier products.
I saw another thread recently where someone said they setup a NixOS mailserver based on the instructions here and had great success
