ImprovMX

@brunocrosier I'm using ImprovMX (and not affiliated in any way). From a quick glance at the docs, I'd say there are not a lot of functional differences, but ImprovMX is so much easier to set up, it's ridiculous.

@brunocrosier @kanochart Thank you for your message, I'm really glad you find the setup for ImprovMX ridiculously easy :)

@brunocrosier Hi Bruno, Thank you for your warm word! In term of functionality, we provide a few bits more than ForwardEmail, including aliases, multiple destinations, logs, and webhooks. We also have a few other ideas in mind to implement. In term of speed, we forward an email under 4 seconds on average (including a blocking 3s at the start of the SMTP communication to discourage spammers. So in reality, once we have the email, it takes us less than a second to forward it). Hope that answers your question :)

@cx42net ForwardEmail definitely allows aliases (and for free). My experience of ImprovMX's free plan when I used it a few months ago was a bit disappointing because an entire day's worth of emails went undelivered (ie. they were permanently lost). When I contacted your support email, I was told this was because your server had been suffering a DDoS attack. I then switched to ForwardEmail and have had no issues whatsoever. I agree that the UX on ImprovMX is considerably easier than for ForwardEmail, and that's something that could be a Unique Selling Point. Have you implemented any measures to prevent a DDoS attack from affecting your service in future?

@brunocrosier We did! Following the issue, we implemented HaProxy on top of SMTP to ensure multiple processes, on multiple servers, are running at the same time. Since then, the service has been running smoothly and we had no issue about dropped emails since then :) I'm sorry about the bad experience you had. We are working every day to improve the quality of the service and avoid these in the future!
