>>> I've run jedi.com email several different ways since 1995. For the last 11 years, I've registered the domain at Namecheap (a very pro-FOSS company). They host the DNS on their servers, and I have all my family's jedi.com mail addresses set up with them as redirects, mostly to gmail addresses that no outsiders ever see. You can even set up multiple destinations for a single address, so (for instance) my son's email also gets copied to my wife's and my accounts. The only cost for that is the $10-ish per year for the domain registration.
>> Hmm… I pay directnic.com to resolve all my DNS, but I don’t see a way to do email forwarding purely via DNS? It appears directnic.com wants me to pay $20/year for a *TOTAL* of 6GB of storage for up to 6 email addresses, and that won’t work, I’m hoarding too much email (that I never read), and my parents hoard way more than I do.
