The World's Longest Alphabetical Email Address (2004)

Fastmail supports "subdomain addressing" out of the box. So if the email address is ... [email protected] ... then you can use ... <anything>@user.domain.com ... without setting up any extra aliases, Fastmail will just handle it as if it's for [email protected].

And you can also reply from such addresses without extra configuration. On the desktop I use MailMate as my email client, which works great with dynamic aliases. The win is that you don't have to configure anything extra when signing up for some online service.

You can do this in Google Suite btw, as you can configure a forwarding rule. The problem with Google Suite, last time I tried, is that they no longer want to sign emails with DKIM for such dynamic aliases, so you can receive emails just fine, but sending emails from such addresses is a problem if you have SPF/DKIM domain rules.

That's good to know. I've only just switched 48 hours ago, so this is something I'll look at.

I had them handle my DNS for that domain so I'm assuming this won't require any extra setup.

This is what I do, for both Fastmail and replicated for my own email domain.
