Proton, the now dead helm, and other email providers who aren’t google provide catch all or wildcard addresses for a low fee. It’s not easy for the non tech savvy, but if you are then it’s trivial to configure.

https://www.thehelm.com/ Helm used to be a turnkey self hosted email service. https://proton.me/mail Proton is a privacy focused (still work with LE for criminal investigations) email service.

Oohhh, I thought you were calling Proton a “dead helm”, not just naming another service. Got it.

Yeah I wish Helm survived. I was so close to pulling that trigger when it was announced.

I had the V1 from very early days. It wasn’t flawless but it was easy enough to use for my spouse, and worked with most email clients which proton does not.
