Hi,

that's a pretty cool service!

Can you publish a screenshot that gives an overview of the settings page?

And: - What happens when I want to disable amazon@mydomain.com? - Do I get any statistics? What about the disabled addresses? - Do you have an uptime guarantee?

I was working on exactly the same service, but gave up because of some legal issues using a third party for receiving the mails (mailgun) - the easiest way to do it. Furthermore, there was too much to do for me alone.

I think 9$/year is a fair price.



Hey sorry for the late answer.

there are a few screenshots on the ProductHunt page: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/forwardmx there are not exactly a lot of options other than defining forwarders.

You can forward emails to /dev/null if you mean that with disabling. I decided against any form of statistics i rather simply dont log anything, than think about how far i want logging to go. We may implement a very basic counter in future.

We do not yet have a uptime guarantee, however i use this for myself and run health tests every other hour. Due to using different servers in different locations with different operating systems and update policies i would say it is very unlikely that both are offline the same time.

I also had a while until i finally made the service, but it got really a huge pain to have my email settings spreaded everywhere and paying for premium features i nether want or need. So i build the server structure and run it for a while just to notice it works great, so i build this SaaS around it and recruited a friend in a different timezone to check on the health tests. Its not exactly magic, but it HAS TO WORK whatever what :)

The price is obviously not ment to get rich, it should just pay for the servers, the traffic and a few beers to keep this alive. It does not have to be profitable soon, it already saves me more money than it costs to run.
