"outsource" email from my self hosted shenanigans (lemmy.world)

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?

Google Workspaces can do exactly this. You set up custom domains for it to handle mail for, and you can set up aliases or whatever so you aren't making/paying for more than $6/user/month (assuming you are ok with the limitations of their lowest plan).

If you use cloudflare for your DNS you can take advantage of their email routing feature to handle incoming mail on your domains, and can apparently even jump through some hoops to set up a normal gmail account to be able to send email from that same account by just changing the from address when composing an email. I have used email routing for some things, but not gone through the outgoing email workaround.
