Mailwip
Mailwip lets people create email addresses on a domain they own and forward incoming messages to chosen recipients.
What Mailwip is
Mailwip lets people create email addresses on a domain they own and forward incoming messages to chosen recipients. An alias can send mail to multiple recipients, while catch-all forwarding routes messages sent to any address at the domain. Users can generate temporary aliases and disable them when no longer needed. SMTP sending is available on eligible plans, and enabling Maillog allows replies through Mailwip's web interface. The service also provides a REST API for retrieving emails and domain information, plus webhooks that send email headers and body as JSON. Its documentation includes setup instructions for Gmail, Apple Mail, Nextcloud, Cloudflare DNS, and AWS Route53. Mailwip says email is not stored unless explicitly requested; Mail Logs are disabled by default and require consent, while enabling logs or webhooks can result in storage. Plans vary in domain counts, SMTP sending, and mail-history limits of 30, 90, or 180 days. The service is available through web and API access, with a seven-day trial listed and no free plan.
