What RacterMX is
RacterMX provides custom-domain email routing, forwarding, alias management, and domain security monitoring through web and API access. Aliases can forward incoming mail to one or more real addresses, while wildcard catch-all routing covers every address on a domain. An SMTP relay supports outbound mail with per-alias credentials; RacterMX says messages are DKIM-signed and SPF-aligned. Authoritative DNS hosting offers automatic record provisioning, DNSSEC, versioned zone history, and rollback. Monitoring includes DNS drift alerts, DMARC reports, blacklist monitoring, and deliverability scoring. Developers can use a REST API, Terraform provider, MCP server, and HMAC-signed outbound webhooks, with an API limit of 100 requests per minute. The usage-based plan costs $1 a month, billed monthly in arrears, plus $0.00012 /email and $0.000003 /query. Unlimited aliases and domains are included without tiers or feature restrictions, and a 7-day trial is listed. Service data is stored in Iceland, while billing is processed by Stripe.
