Hello friends, I am considering using some of my domains for email in addition to my self hosted stuff and i cannot stress enough how much i do not want to host and run my own email service. My objective is to find a service that i can hook up with Gmail, so i think it’d have to do mail forwarding and submission/SMTP for sending mails. Mostly just myself, but maybe a few others too. I don’t want to spend twenty bucks per domain though. Does anyone have suggestions?

Many paid email services such as Mailbox.org or Protonmail allow you to use custom domains. You don’t need gmail.
But like Gmail tho
I see.
Gmail also offers the option to use a custom domain. It’s aimed at businesses but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to use it as a private person.
I’ve used SimpleLogin for awhile and it’s worked very well for me, everything shows up and everyone receives their mail as expected, very happy with it. AnonAddy is another alternative, although I personally haven’t tested that one. They’re both pretty cheap and recommended by PrivacyGuides. SimpleLogin was purchased about a year back by Proton. Who run Proton VPN, ProtonMail and a few other products iirc. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/#email-aliasing-services
Sweet, i will look into that
I picked up a black friday deal from mxroute for $15/year. Unlimited domains and 300 email/hour. I have it setup as the relay for my internal postfix/dovecot setup. It also hosts one email account so if I mess up my own configuration I can still do email.
Looks like their current deal is a $5/year for 1 domain https://account.mxroute.com/order/micro You could still set that one domain up as a relay.
Check into Google workspaces, it’s a paid service now but I got a family email set up 20 years ago and it’s awesome. You get all the access to Google stuff, administration, there’s plugins and stuff it’s just a Google account with a cooler email and an admin panel really.
For sending I am using smtp2go. It’s free if you send less than 1,000 emails a month.
For receiving my dns host provides free email forwardingCheck into Google workspaces, it’s a paid service now but I got a family email set up 20 years ago and it’s awesome.
