FYI, the developer has a writeup about the design behind this project: https://medium.com/@fabianterh/how-i-built-heimdall-an-open-source-personal-email-guardian-68e306d172d1 At…

Right now, silently dropped. Yeah, this is an issue I'm planning to work on. The reason I chose to release it before supporting attachments is that for my use case for receiving…

This is a really cool project, so I don't mean to be overly negative, but personally this workflow feels quite a bit more laborious than just having a catch-all email address.…

You're going to get an astronomical amount of junk mail with a catchall email address. Google is great at filtering spam, but not perfect. If you're running your own mail server,…

If all you want to do is forward all mail for a domain somewhere you can easily do that at most domain registrars. I use this with Monicker.

Self-managed email means using SES? The dream of the 90s exclaims “ouch”. It’s a realistic choice and I am not judging it, but still, ouch.

I like the idea but I do not understand why someone would want something self-managed/hosted and then use AMZN SES to send/receive mail and S3 to save mail/attachments. 1. AMZN…

I disagree with the "astronomical amount of junk mail" statement. I've been using FastMail with a catchall email address for years, and get very little spam; most of which is…

I remember thinking the same thing last time I looked into Fastmail, but earlier when I was checking before posting, it appears that's gotten much, much better. From the Fastmail…

This service is offered by most domain registrars out of the box.

I wrote and use a web service called Tamarind for managing throw-away mail aliases: http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/tamarind/tree/README It integrates into Apache as a CGI program…
