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?

    You might want to transfer your domain to another registrar. I use namecheap and they have a “catch all” option that’s free to use. You just set a single forwarding email and everything sent to your domain arrives there.

      Good idea, and that was my first plan too - but it turns out .au domains (that have lots of rules) are limited to a small number of registries - not including the popular US ones.
