Here's an OSS privacy-focused alternative for anyone needing to switch: https://forwardemail.net
Forward Email - Email Forwarding Service

We're the only service that respects your privacy and never stores your emails.

https://forwardemail.net

We're working on Spam Scanner because we weren't happy with rspamd nor SpamAssassin or any other archaic or non-trivial closed-door tech. See https://spamscanner.net for more!
It actually doesn't determine it by the country the request is coming from.

How it works is fully documented here: https://github.com/ladjs/i18n#i18nmiddlewarectx-next

1) Check URL (e.g. if /de or /de/ then it's a de locale - as long as de is a supported locale)

2) Use the custom function (if provided by the detectLocale parameter) for locale detection

3) Check the "locale" cookie value (or whatever the cookie option is defined as)

4) Check Accept-Language header

Regarding nothing being translated, there was an issue with our locales folder sync and that's being resolved soon!

Just a normal DDoS that we're mitigating
Forward Email is doing several thousand per month now just one year in.

Re:Discourage use of Mailgun as a mail provider on Monday December 13, 2021 @04:20PM (#29544795)
I built https://forwardemail.net as the costs went up and I needed a cheaper alternative for my domains. Any questions feel free to email me, [email protected]

FE is not an alternative, we're building something separate with the same team (just a beta, experimental side project).
Re:Ask HN: Why is Docusign a $50B company? on Saturday November 27, 2021 @05:27PM (#29364219)
Working on an open source alternative, email me at [email protected] if you want to try the beta.

We're the team behind https://forwardemail.net

Everything 100% transparent, open-source, privacy-focused, with fair pricing

Re:Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders? on Sunday November 21, 2021 @03:45PM (#29299530)
I built https://forwardemail.net to save money and time on email hosting/SMTP.
Re:Truth about ProtonMail on Wednesday November 03, 2021 @11:19PM (#29103349)
If you just need email forwarding... without logs and no storage to disk... here's something I made: https://forwardemail.net
Re:Piscina – The Node.js Worker Pool on Tuesday March 23, 2021 @05:23PM (#26560581)
I helped maintain all the Node.js node/cron/agenda libraries. Just switch to Bree and your troubles will be gone.
Re:Piscina – The Node.js Worker Pool on Tuesday March 23, 2021 @04:01PM (#26559688)
Yeah. I built Bree @ https://jobscheduler.net

It has support for worker threads + cron + human strings

Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Wednesday March 03, 2021 @01:37AM (#26325455)
So many cases. Some are using this on hundreds of sub-domains. I hope to launch SMTP and regex support soon. Then... it has final form, power level over 9000.
Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Wednesday March 03, 2021 @12:52AM (#26325251)
Very glad to have you Tycho.
Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Wednesday March 03, 2021 @12:52AM (#26325246)
Yeah, Google Translate via the npm package "mandarin" I made @ https://www.npmjs.com/package/mandarin. I planned to hire curators to go through the JSON files and clean it up - though I'm incredibly surprised that open source contributors have come forward (sometimes for their first time doing a PR) to submit fixes to locales. I give them free service for several years for their help.
Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Wednesday March 03, 2021 @12:51AM (#26325240)
I would not start this business if I could not keep it going. Period. Even beyond my lifetime. I keep things simple - when I started I had so many struggles, and wish something like this existed. I have contingency plans in place if something happens. My philosophy is outlined in the documentation for Lad.
Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @02:24PM (#26319287)
I'm a happy jQuery/Bootstrap user @ https://forwardemail.net.

The site scores ~100% on Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights and is ranked #1.

Open-startup @ https://forwardemail.net/open-startup!

Completely open-source too @ https://github.com/forwardemail

Re:Firefox Relay on Monday January 25, 2021 @12:41PM (#25906157)
I created tools such as https://spamscanner.net and use ARC + ARF.
Re:Firefox Relay on Monday January 25, 2021 @12:00PM (#25905588)
I encourage you to instead try out https://forwardemail.net. I'm launching our browser extension and our SMTP service very soon. It's completely open-source and free. No logging either. We're the only service that doesn't write emails let alone logs to disk nor store any metadata.

You can use unlimited custom domains and create disposable aliases on the fly as well!

(I'm the creator, lmk any questions!)

Re:The M1 MacBook Air is the best computer I've ever owned on Sunday January 10, 2021 @02:15PM (#25718431)
Did you view the links? There are core problems with Bluetooth, Wifi 6, and security of the device (not workflow).

I don't think my workflow is flawed, here's what it produces: https://github.com/niftylettuce

Re:The M1 MacBook Air is the best computer I've ever owned on Sunday January 10, 2021 @01:57PM (#25718151)
tldr; I got a Macbook Pro M1 for $975 in mint-condition at a Best Buy and already put the return label on it.

While Geekbench showed great results, actual usage of the machine and headaches ensued were contrasting.

To put it bluntly - M1 machines are currently unstable. There are numerous Bluetooth issues [1], formatting issues [2], Wifi 6 issues [3], VPN issues [4], firewall issues [5], and shocking security issues in general with Big Sur and Apple's silicon [6].

I'm a power user and this is way too experimental for actual use. At the least get the 16 GB variant if you want to get anything done and not experience freeze/lockup (but for that much money you're better off with Librem 14" or System76 w/AMD Threadripper).

Re:Google Alternatives on Friday December 11, 2020 @10:05AM (#25386535)
I made https://forwardemail.net as an alternative to having to sign up for Google Business (since they no longer offer the free plan).
Re:Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses? on Friday December 11, 2020 @09:37AM (#25386253)
I launched https://forwardemail.net out of beta on Nov 23. Within twelve days had thousands in sales. This is also an open startup at https://forwardemail.net/open-startup.
Re:[email protected] on Sunday September 27, 2020 @09:40AM (#24606540)
you could just use our /dev/null approach at https://forwardemail.net with "!" prefixed wildcard alias for this haha
Re:Ask HN: Captcha Alternatives? on Monday August 31, 2020 @10:42PM (#24338043)
I'm working on https://spamscanner.net, which will be useful very soon for this with a public and free API (which will store zero logs and adhere to same privacy as https://forwardemail.net).
