About Forward Email
Forward Email is a hosted service that sends mail for your own domain to the inbox you choose. It is built on open-source code and is designed with privacy in mind.
What it does
You point the mail records of your domain at the service, then set up addresses that forward to inboxes you already use. One address can reach several people, a team or a webhook. The service can also send mail through SMTP or an API, and keep mail in an encrypted mailbox when you want it stored rather than forwarded.
Key features
- Unlimited aliases on your domain
- Catch-all and pattern-based routing
- Send through SMTP or a REST API
- Incoming mail delivered as JSON webhooks
- Code audited twice by Cure53
Who it's for
Developers and small teams who want branded addresses without running a mail server of their own. It also suits people who care where their mail is kept. An alias can be switched off without deleting the mail it has already received.
Pricing and good to know
Forwarding on a custom domain is free to start. Paid plans begin at $3 a month and cover outbound sending. Forwarded mail is processed in memory and not written to disk, and each mailbox is stored as an encrypted file that only its password can open.
Highlights
- Forward mail from your domain to any inbox
- Create unlimited aliases without per-alias fees
- Catch-all and regex rules for addresses
- Send mail through SMTP or a REST API
- Receive incoming mail as JSON webhooks
