I build this for this use case:

I already had an email somewhere. Anytime I got a new domain, I just want to forward to that email. Consolidate all of my email in a single place. And support SMTP so I can also reply through the domain as well.

I want a dead simple way to manage these alias, help family all know what is up by forwarding all emails to their individual emails.

I don't want to get charge per sear, or have to convince the others to switch to a new mailbox. Just forward to them.

I had stuff like kid@ travel@ school@ insurance@ forward both to my wife and me for example.

CloudFlare isn't easy to use for a non-tech person to manage their email. It also require that you point the DNS to CloudFlare. If the DNS is on Route53, you cannot use Cloudflare.

ImprvoMX is something I really admire but I just need more feature they don't support at the time (Maillog, webhook, regex routing, search email) So I build this for me as a user and have. been growing it.

With the alias, I can also block/null route after a certain use when I don't want to hear from that alias anymore. Impossible to do with a standalone inbox.

My wife love it. She got her own domain and use it when signing for deal/coupon website then null route the alias to prevent being bombarding later on.
