I'm sorry if I missed it, but do you do catchall email service for custom domains? My current email provider (https://mailbox.org) limits email aliases per price plan, the most basic that I currently use allows for 3 + a free root@ and webmaster@. I'd probably be convinced to go through the hassle and switch providers if your service provides an improvement over this limit.

Yes, we have catchalls. We don't restrict how you route anything under your domain, and you can send from any email address you own.
Thats good to know. Apparently my current provider allows for those as well, but honestly the proposal "just email, nothing else" might be attractive enough to try your service anyways.

IIRC, mailbox supports catchall if you sacrifice one alias for it. You’d have to input „@domain.tld“ at the alias config menu.
Yeah, that works for me as well.
I had no idea, thanks a bunch! I'll set it up right away!
You can use x3 domains with catch-all. Just add each one as "@domain.tld" and setup mx/spf/dkim/dmarc as usual. Then the domain will receive with catch-all. However, prepare to be spammed, as many spammers figure that "[email protected]" are always available, so that one will frequently receive spams.
If you need more than three domains, try Migadu(not affiliated, just happy customer), they have no formal limits to their "micro" plan and is cheaper than FastMail. Migadu also allows adding alias domains(something I haven't seen anywhere), basically if you have a mailbox like "[email protected]" you can attach some more domains as alias, like "@domain2.tld" "@domainx.tld" and those will all receive/send/operate as the same "[email protected]". Neat feature I haven't found yet on other services.
I use Tutanota and it supports catchall aliases.
12€/yr for 1GB + custom domain + 5 aliases (plus catchall).
Same price for 2GB + Custom Domain + 3 sending Aliases + Catchall + Contacts and Calender Sync + Web Client + hosting in Germany for the old Mailbox.org plan is still the better offfering for me privately as I regularily clean up my Mail + like having calender and contacts integrated.
But 10€/ month for unlimited storage and users is definitely a good offer, too.
Yes you can have unlimited domains/aliases with catchalls and RFC 5233 subaddressing.
