ChatGPT answers, unedited

For a content partnership site—where you may want addresses like hello@, partners@, submissions@, sponsors@, plus a catch-all—I’d narrow it to Fastmail, Zoho Mail, and Migadu.

My practical recommendation: Fastmail

Fastmail is particularly well suited if you're running the site yourself or with a small team. It supports a wildcard/catch-all alias such as *@yourdomain.com, and you can send from those addresses as well as receive them. Fastmail Fastmail

You could have:

• hello@site.com
• partners@site.com
• brands@site.com
• submissions@site.com
• press@site.com
• billing@site.com
• anything-else@site.com → catch-all

All can feed into one mailbox, while rules can sort messages by the address they were sent to. Fastmail also supports plus-addressing and subdomain addressing, which can be useful for generating distinct addresses without manually creating every variation. Fastmail

When I'd choose the others

Zoho Mail — I'd look at this first if keeping costs low is particularly important. It provides full hosted mail rather than merely forwarding, and current comparisons document substantial alias support and catch-all functionality. RottenWiFi Framekit

Migadu — worth considering if you expect multiple domains or a very large number of addresses. Its model is particularly oriented toward lots of addresses/domains without charging separately for every alias. Framekit

Cloudflare Email Routing — excellent if you only need incoming mail forwarded to an existing inbox. It has a genuine catch-all rule and flexible routing, but it isn't a normal hosted mailbox, so I'd avoid it as the primary system if you'll regularly send partnership emails from partners@... or hello@.... Cloudflare Docs

For your particular use case

I'd set it up as:

Domain → Fastmail → one primary mailbox → aliases + catch-all → folders/rules

That gives you the flexibility to create a new address whenever a partnership requires one without creating another paid mailbox.

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email and whether you need 1 domain or multiple sites/domains, I can compare Fastmail vs Zoho vs Migadu on actual current pricing, alias limits, sending-from-alias behavior, and catch-all handling.

For a content partnership site, where you may want addresses like partners@, editorial@, submissions@, hello@, and potentially arbitrary addresses without creating separate inboxes, I’d shortlist Fastmail, Zoho Mail, and Migadu.

My pick: Fastmail

fastmail.com is particularly well suited to your requirements:

• Catch-all/wildcard: you can receive mail sent to any address at your domain, e.g. john@, partnership-abc@, etc. Fastmail
• Lots of aliases: Fastmail supports up to 600 aliases per account, plus additional aliases depending on users. Fastmail
• Send from aliases: aliases can both receive and send, so you can respond as partners@yourdomain.com rather than exposing your personal mailbox. Fastmail
• Routing: an alias can deliver to one or multiple people, which is useful if your partnership inbox eventually has a small team. Fastmail
• Good catch-all management: you can specifically disable an address that's attracting spam while leaving the rest of the catch-all working. Fastmail
• Plus addressing: you can also use addresses such as partners+publisher123@domain.com without creating every variation manually. Fastmail

How I'd structure it

For example:

yourdomain.com
│
├── hello@          → general inquiries
├── partnerships@   → brands/content partners
├── submissions@    → contributor submissions
├── editorial@      → editorial communication
├── press@          → media
├── billing@        → invoices
│
└── *@              → catch-all

You could have all of these land in one mailbox initially, then introduce separate users/inboxes as the site grows.

Alternatives

Zoho explicitly supports multiple aliases within one mailbox, and its current documentation also describes catch-all configuration. Zoho Zoho

One important distinction: if by "multiple aliases" you mean hundreds of unique addresses for individual partnerships, rather than 5–20 functional addresses, I'd pay particular attention to the provider's alias limits and catch-all behavior. Fastmail is unusually well aligned with that use case.

If you tell me roughly how many domains, mailboxes, and aliases you expect (e.g. 1 domain / 2 people / 100+ aliases), I can compare the current pricing and limitations of Fastmail vs. Zoho vs. Migadu specifically for your setup.

For a content partnership site (where you may need addresses like partners@, press@, sponsors@, contributors@, plus lots of temporary or campaign-specific aliases), I’d prioritize:

• Catch-all support (receive anything sent to anything@yourdomain.com)
• Unlimited or generous aliases
• Ability to send/reply from aliases
• Good spam filtering (catch-alls attract junk)
• Team sharing/delegation if multiple people will manage partnerships

Here are the strongest options:

My picks by scenario

1. Solo founder / small content partnership operation
→ Fastmail

• Create:
  • hello@
  • partners@
  • press@
  • sponsors@
  • firstname@
  • catch-all *@yourdomain.com
• Keep everything in one inbox with rules/folders. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.helpwww.namecheap.com

2. You expect agencies, writers, editors, and partners to collaborate
→ Google Workspace

• Shared inboxes, calendars, Docs, Drive, and easier onboarding.

3. You want hundreds of addresses without paying per mailbox
→ Migadu or Fastmail

• Better suited to a publishing/content ecosystem where addresses are mostly routing points.

Suggested setup for a content partnership site

I would avoid creating dozens of real inboxes. Use:

Real mailboxes

• you@domain.com
• team@domain.com

Aliases

• partners@domain.com
• collabs@domain.com
• press@domain.com
• media@domain.com
• sponsors@domain.com
• creators@domain.com
• legal@domain.com

Catch-all

• *@domain.com → filtered into a “Unknown addresses” folder

One caution: catch-all addresses can increase spam because bots can send mail to random addresses on your domain. Good filtering and the ability to disable noisy aliases are important. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.helpwww.namecheap.com

For most content partnership sites, I’d choose:

1. Fastmail if email is the main need
2. Google Workspace if email is part of a broader operating system
3. Migadu if maximizing aliases is the priority

I can also compare them by price per month, number of aliases, sending from aliases, and team features if you’re choosing for a specific size of site.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize three things: catch-all support, lots of aliases without paying for a mailbox for every address, and easy routing/filtering.

My picks

1. Fastmail — my recommendation

Fastmail

Fastmail is unusually well suited to what you're describing. It supports a true wildcard such as *@yourdomain.com, so addresses like writer1@, partnerships@, brand-a@, or even previously unknown addresses can land in the same account. It also supports a large number of individual aliases and lets you route aliases to different users or an external address. www.fastmail.help

For example, you could have:

hello@site.com
partners@site.com
submissions@site.com
brands@site.com
media@site.com
john@site.com
*@site.com       ← catch-all

without turning every address into a separately paid mailbox.

2. Zoho Mail — best if keeping costs low is important

Zoho Mail

Zoho supports multiple aliases on a user, with aliases capable of sending and receiving mail from the same mailbox. It also supports catch-all addresses. www.zoho.com

One important caveat for a content partnership business: Zoho Mail's usage policy prohibits promotional, bulk/mass, marketing, newsletter, and automated emails. So I'd use it for correspondence with partners, not as the sending platform for a partnership newsletter or outreach campaign. www.zoho.com

3. Google Workspace — best if you're already living in Google

Google Workspace

Google Workspace gives each user up to 30 aliases at no extra cost, and admins can configure catch-all routing. knowledge.workspace.google.com

It's excellent if your team also needs Google Drive, Docs, Calendar, Meet, etc. But if email flexibility itself is the priority, I think Fastmail is cleaner and less expensive than paying for Workspace primarily to get email.

What I'd do for your site

If you're a small team / founder-operated content partnership site, I'd choose Fastmail for the inboxes and aliases, and keep outbound partnership campaigns/newsletters on a dedicated email-sending platform rather than your normal mail host.

That gives you something like:

Fastmail

• you@site.com
• partnerships@site.com
• editor@site.com
• submissions@site.com
• *@site.com
• aliases for different brands/projects

Separate sending service

• partnership outreach at scale
• newsletters
• automated emails
• transactional/site emails

This separation is especially useful for protecting the reputation of your normal business inbox.

If you tell me how many people need actual inboxes (e.g. 1, 2–5, 10+) and roughly how many aliases/domains you expect, I can narrow this down to the cheapest setup and tell you exactly which plan I'd buy.

For a content partnership site where you want a custom domain, catch-all, and lots of aliases without paying for a separate mailbox for every address, I’d choose Zoho Mail.

My ranking

1. zoho.com — Best overall

• Supports catch-all addresses. Zoho Zoho
• Supports up to 30 aliases per mailbox. Zoho Zoho
• Supports multiple domains and domain aliases, useful if your partnership site eventually acquires related domains. Zoho Zoho
• Lets you create group addresses such as partnerships@, submissions@, press@, etc.
• Has proper business email authentication support (SPF/DKIM and related DNS configuration). Zoho

I'd pick this if you're actually going to communicate with partners from the addresses.

2. fastmail.com — Best for a very polished personal/small-team setup

• Excellent alias-oriented workflow and a particularly nice mail interface.
• I'd favor it if simplicity and the day-to-day email experience matter more than business administration features.
• However, for a partnership operation where you're likely to want groups, multiple domains, routing, and administrative controls, I think Zoho is the stronger fit.
• migadu.com — Best if you need lots of addresses cheaply

• Worth considering if you're building a domain with many different addresses and don't want each one treated as a conventional mailbox.
• Its model is particularly attractive for domain-heavy setups, but I'd choose Zoho for a more conventional business operation.
• developers.cloudflare.com — Best as a forwarding layer, not full email hosting

• Very attractive if you only need incoming addresses forwarded elsewhere.
• Cloudflare currently offers unlimited inbound Email Routing, including on the Workers Free plan. Cloudflare Docs
• But it isn't what I'd choose as the primary mailbox system for a content partnership business—you'll probably want to send/reply from your branded addresses too.

What I'd set up

For example, if your domain is example.com, I'd have:

• hello@example.com
• partners@example.com
• partnerships@example.com
• submissions@example.com
• press@example.com
• sponsors@example.com
• editor@example.com
• billing@example.com

Then I'd have a catch-all going to your main mailbox so something like creator-name@example.com doesn't disappear just because you haven't explicitly created that address. Zoho specifically supports routing nonexistent addresses to a designated mailbox or group. Zoho

One caveat: don't blindly enable catch-all and forget about it. Zoho itself warns that catch-all addresses can attract substantial spam and potentially contribute to receiving-limit problems. Zoho For a partnership site, I'd use it initially while you're establishing your address structure, then consider whether you really need it permanently.

Bottom line: Zoho Mail is my recommendation. It's the best balance of aliases + catch-all + multiple domains + business/group functionality for this particular use case.

If you tell me roughly how many addresses/domains you expect (e.g. 10 aliases on 1 domain vs. 100+ addresses across several domains), I can narrow this down to the most cost-effective plan.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize: custom-domain email, catch-all, lots of aliases, the ability to send from aliases, good deliverability, and low cost as you add addresses.

My picks

1. Fastmail — my recommendation

fastmail.com

For a partnership site, this is probably the sweet spot.

Fastmail explicitly supports catch-all/wildcard aliases, aliases that route to one or multiple users, and aliases can be used for addresses such as partnerships@, press@, hello@, contributors@, etc. It also supports multiple domains—up to 100 on an account. Fastmail

So you could have:

you@site.com          ← actual mailbox
hello@site.com        → you
partnerships@site.com → you
press@site.com        → you
media@site.com        → you
contributors@site.com → you
anything@site.com     → catch-all

That's exactly the sort of arrangement I'd use for a content/partnership operation.

2. Zoho Mail — if keeping costs down matters

zoho.com

Zoho supports multiple aliases on a mailbox and catch-all addresses. Its documentation says a user can have up to 30 aliases, although some Zoho documentation describes 10 depending on the particular account/configuration, so I'd verify the limit for the plan you're buying. Zoho Zoho

It's particularly attractive if you expect something like:

editor@
partnerships@
sponsors@
advertising@
submissions@
press@
legal@

but only have one or two people actually managing those addresses.

3. Migadu — excellent if you expect lots of addresses

migadu.com

Migadu is unusually good if your definition of "multiple aliases" is basically as many addresses as I can possibly need. Its plans advertise unlimited addresses and domains, and it supports catch-alls. Migadu Migadu

The catch is that Migadu's plans impose daily sending/receiving limits, so I'd pay attention to those if you're going to send newsletters, outreach, or high-volume partnership emails. Migadu

4. Purelymail — fantastic if price is the main concern

purelymail.com

Purelymail is worth considering if you want a very inexpensive infrastructure-style email host. It supports unlimited mailboxes, aliases/routing rules, multiple domains, and catch-all rules without charging per user. Purelymail Purelymail

I'd choose it for a technically comfortable owner who primarily wants "email hosting that gets out of my way." For a public-facing media/partnership brand, I'd personally spend a little more for Fastmail.

What I'd choose for your site

Fastmail if this is a serious site that will be contacting brands, creators, publishers, agencies, and potential partners.

I'd structure it roughly like:

• you@domain.com — your actual inbox
• hello@domain.com — general inquiries
• partnerships@domain.com — brand/content partnerships
• press@domain.com — media
• contributors@domain.com — writers/contributors
• submissions@domain.com — pitches
• billing@domain.com — invoices
• catch-all — catches addresses you forgot to create

The important distinction is that aliases aren't separate inboxes. They can all feed the same mailbox, which is exactly what you want if you're a small operation. Fastmail specifically supports aliases routing to one or more users and external addresses. Fastmail

One caveat: I'd avoid relying heavily on a catch-all for your outbound identity. Use explicit aliases for addresses you publish publicly; keep the catch-all mainly as a safety net for typos and forgotten addresses. Catch-alls can also attract more junk mail.

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email (1, 2–5, or 10+) and whether you'll send newsletters/outreach, I can narrow this to the cheapest setup that won't become painful later.

Fastmail explicitly supports catch-all/wildcard aliases, aliases that route to one or multiple users, and aliases can be used for addresses such as partnerships@, press@, hello@, contributors@, etc. It also supports multiple domains—up to 100 on an account. Fastmail

I'd choose it for a technically comfortable owner who primarily wants "email hosting that gets out of my way." For a public-facing media/partnership brand, I'd personally spend a little more for Fastmail.

What I'd choose for your site

Fastmail if this is a serious site that will be contacting brands, creators, publishers, agencies, and potential partners.

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Fastmail unless you specifically need the broader collaboration suite of Google Workspace.

My recommendation

1. Fastmail — best fit

• Supports catch-all/wildcard addresses on your custom domain. Fastmail Fastmail
• Supports a large number of aliases — currently up to 600 aliases per account, plus 15 per user. Fastmail
• Aliases can both receive and send, so you can have partners@, editor@, press@, sponsors@, etc. without creating separate inboxes. Fastmail
• You can route aliases to different users or even external addresses. Fastmail
• It also supports multiple domains, which is useful if your partnership operation eventually has several sites. Fastmail

For example, you could have:

hello@site.com
partners@site.com
submissions@site.com
press@site.com
sponsors@site.com
john@site.com

…and use a catch-all for things like:

creator123@site.com
brand456@site.com
campaign789@site.com

without having to pre-create every address.

Other good choices

2. Migadu — best if you want maximum flexibility

Migadu is particularly interesting if your content partnership business will operate multiple domains or brands. Its domain-alias system lets additional domains map onto the same underlying addresses, and it supports aliases, rewrites, mailboxes and catchalls. Migadu

I'd consider it if you're technically comfortable managing email/DNS.

3. Google Workspace — best if you need Gmail + collaboration

It's excellent if your team also needs Google Drive, Docs, Calendar, Meet, etc. But if catch-all + lots of aliases are your primary requirements, I'd pick Fastmail for simplicity rather than paying primarily for the broader Workspace ecosystem.

What I'd choose

Bottom line: for a small-to-medium content partnership operation where you want one or a few real inboxes but potentially dozens/hundreds of functional addresses, I'd go with Fastmail. Its alias and catch-all implementation is unusually well suited to exactly this setup. Fastmail Fastmail

fastmail.com

If you tell me how many people will actually have inboxes and roughly how many aliases/domains you expect, I can also recommend the most cost-effective plan.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize three things: catch-all support, lots of aliases without paying for separate mailboxes, and reliable sending/replying from each alias.

My recommendation: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the best fit if you want something professional and low-maintenance.

It supports:

• Catch-all/wildcard addresses — e.g. anything sent to *@yourdomain.com can land in one inbox. Fastmail Fastmail
• Hundreds of aliases — Fastmail documents a limit of up to 600 aliases plus 15 per user. Fastmail
• Sending from aliases, not merely receiving them. Fastmail
• Multiple aliases can deliver to the same inbox or even to multiple recipients. Fastmail
• Multiple custom domains — up to 100 domains on an account. Fastmail
• Rules for sorting messages based on which address they were sent to. Fastmail

For example, your partnership site could have:

hello@site.com
partners@site.com
brands@site.com
creators@site.com
press@site.com
submissions@site.com
billing@site.com
john@site.com
jane@site.com
anything@site.com   ← catch-all

All of those can ultimately feed one or several inboxes.

The alternatives

Purelymail is particularly interesting if cost is your overriding concern. It supports unlimited custom domains/users under its simple pricing model and explicitly supports catch-all routing. Purelymail

Migadu is another strong option if you're going to operate several domains or a large number of mailboxes, although its pricing/usage model is more complicated. FranklyMail

What I'd choose for your site

If you're building a site where brands, publishers, creators, and potential partners will contact you, I'd go:

1. Fastmail — best choice
Professional, excellent alias/catch-all handling, easy to manage, and good if you expect the operation to grow.

2. Purelymail — best ultra-cheap choice
Great if you basically need email infrastructure and don't care much about having a polished business suite.

3. Google Workspace — only if you need Google Workspace
Worth it if your team will heavily use Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, Meet, etc. I wouldn't choose it just for aliases/catch-all.

One important distinction: a catch-all is excellent for receiving partnership inquiries, but I wouldn't use it as the primary mechanism for sending outbound partnership emails. I'd create real aliases such as partnerships@, brands@, and creators@ so your outbound identity and reputation are clean.

If you tell me how many people will use the email, roughly how many aliases you need, and whether you need Gmail/Google Drive, I can narrow this down to the cheapest/best setup for your specific site.

For a content partnership site where you want one domain, lots of role-based addresses, and a catch-all, I’d shortlist Fastmail and Zoho Mail.

My pick: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the cleanest choice if your main requirement is lots of addresses without lots of separate mailboxes. Its aliases can route to one or more users, and its wildcard alias catches mail sent to otherwise nonexistent addresses on your domain. Fastmail Fastmail

For example, you could have:

• hello@yourdomain.com
• partnerships@yourdomain.com
• creators@yourdomain.com
• brands@yourdomain.com
• press@yourdomain.com
• submissions@yourdomain.com
• anything@yourdomain.com → caught by the wildcard

You can then use rules to organize messages based on which address they were sent to. Fastmail

When I'd choose Zoho instead

Zoho Mail is the better choice if you're expecting the site to become a more structured organization with multiple people, groups, departments, and administrative controls. Zoho explicitly supports multiple aliases per user, group addresses, domain aliases, and catch-all addresses. Zoho Zoho Zoho

One particularly useful feature for your use case is domain aliasing: you could have several domains feeding corresponding addresses into the same Zoho organization. Zoho

What I'd do for your site

If it's currently a small content/partnership operation, I'd choose Fastmail. It's simpler and particularly well suited to the "one person/team, many public-facing addresses" model.

If you're building toward a larger partnership network with several staff members, I'd choose Zoho Mail because its groups and administrative features give you more room to grow.

One caution: catch-all addresses attract spam, because literally any address at your domain can receive mail. I'd use the catch-all as a safety net rather than publicly advertise it, while giving partners specific addresses like partnerships@ and submissions@.

If you tell me how many people will need inboxes and roughly how many aliases/domains you expect, I can narrow it down to the best plan and estimate the monthly cost.

For a content partnership site (where you may need addresses like hello@, partners@, press@, contributors@, plus lots of aliases and possibly a catch-all), I would prioritize:

• reliable deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC support)
• easy alias management
• catch-all support
• ability to reply from aliases
• shared inbox/team access if the site grows

My shortlist:

Fastmail Shipmail## My recommendation by scenario

1. One site, one owner, many public addresses → Fastmail

Example setup:

• you@site.com → real mailbox
• hello@site.com → alias
• partners@site.com → alias
• press@site.com → alias
• submissions@site.com → alias
• anything@site.com → catch-all

Fastmail is especially strong here because it supports custom domains, aliases, catch-all addresses, and replying from different addresses. Fastmail

2. Growing partnership team → Google Workspace

Choose this if you expect:

• multiple editors
• shared calendars
• Google Drive collaboration
• Docs-based workflows
• several people responding to partner emails

It is less elegant for huge numbers of aliases, but it fits teams already living in Google’s ecosystem. Shipmail

3. Many project addresses/domains → Migadu

If you expect:

• multiple content brands
• multiple domains
• dozens or hundreds of aliases
• mostly forwarding rather than separate inboxes

Migadu’s model can be more economical because you are not paying for every address as a separate mailbox. Shipmail

I would avoid

• Self-hosting mail servers (Postfix, Mailcow, etc.) unless email administration is part of your job. Deliverability problems can become a major distraction.
• Basic web-host email bundled with domains if partnerships are important; it often has weaker admin tools and scaling.

Suggested setup for a content partnership site

A practical structure:

Primary mailbox

• founder@yourdomain.com

Public aliases

• hello@yourdomain.com
• partners@yourdomain.com
• media@yourdomain.com
• press@yourdomain.com
• contributors@yourdomain.com
• legal@yourdomain.com

Catch-all

• *@yourdomain.com → monitored inbox (with spam filtering)

I would pick Fastmail unless you already depend heavily on Google Workspace. It gives you the flexibility of a media brand without paying for many fake “users” that are really just addresses. Fastmail

If you tell me whether this is a solo creator site, a small editorial team, or a network of partner sites, I can narrow it to the best plan/setup.

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Fastmail unless you specifically need a larger business suite.

My recommendation

1. fastmail.com — best fit

It’s particularly well suited to a site where you might want addresses like:

• hello@yourdomain.com
• partners@yourdomain.com
• editorial@yourdomain.com
• sponsors@yourdomain.com
• john@yourdomain.com
• random-publication@yourdomain.com

Fastmail supports catch-all/wildcard addresses on custom domains, so mail sent to an address you haven't explicitly created can still arrive. Fastmail Fastmail

It also supports a large number of aliases—Fastmail currently documents up to 600 aliases plus 15 per user—and aliases can be used for both receiving and sending. Fastmail Fastmail

For a partnership site, that's a major advantage: you can give different partners or campaigns their own addresses without creating a separate paid mailbox for every address.

Other good choices

2. zoho.com — best if keeping costs low matters

Zoho supports custom-domain email and aliases, with an alias delivering into the same user's mailbox. Zoho Zoho

I'd pick Zoho if you're building a small operation and want business-email functionality at a lower cost, particularly if you expect to expand into the broader Zoho ecosystem.

3. workspace.google.com — best if you live in Gmail/Google Docs

It's excellent for collaboration, shared documents, calendars, Drive, etc. But for your specific requirement—lots of aliases plus catch-all behavior—I would choose Fastmail first. Google Workspace's email routing can accomplish catch-all-like setups, but it's more administrative machinery than I'd want for a small content partnership operation.

4. microsoft.com — best for Microsoft-heavy teams

Very capable, but similarly more infrastructure than you probably need unless you're already using Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and the Microsoft ecosystem.

What I'd do for your site

I'd set up one or a few real mailboxes, then use aliases for the public-facing addresses:

hello@site.com
partnerships@site.com
submissions@site.com
press@site.com
sponsors@site.com
billing@site.com

Then enable:

*@site.com  →  main mailbox

That gives you the catch-all behavior, while the named aliases let you organize and respond from specific addresses. Fastmail also supports plus-addressing and subdomain addressing, which can be useful for tracking different partners or signups. Fastmail

Bottom line: I'd pick Fastmail. For a content partnership site, its combination of custom domains + catch-all + lots of aliases + straightforward email management is unusually well aligned with what you're describing.

If you tell me roughly how many people will need inboxes and how many aliases/partner addresses you expect, I can recommend the most cost-effective setup and plan.

For a content partnership site, where you may want addresses like hello@, partners@, editorial@, sponsors@, plus a catch-all for unexpected addresses, I’d shortlist these:

My recommendation

1. fastmail.com — best overall

This would be my first choice if you want something polished and easy to operate.

• Supports custom domains
• Supports unlimited aliases in the practical sense needed for this setup
• Supports catch-all/wildcard aliases
• Aliases can route to one or multiple users, or even an external address
• Supports multiple domains — Fastmail says up to 100 domains per account
• Good interface and relatively low administrative overhead Fastmail Fastmail

For example:

yourdomain.com
├── hello@        → main inbox
├── partnerships@ → main inbox
├── editorial@   → main inbox
├── sponsors@    → main inbox
├── press@       → main inbox
└── *            → catch-all inbox

2. zoho.com — best value/business-oriented option

Zoho is particularly attractive if you're trying to keep costs down while still getting proper business-email administration.

It explicitly supports catch-all addresses, domain aliases, groups, and multiple aliases per mailbox. Zoho currently documents a limit of 30 aliases per mailbox. Zoho Zoho Zoho

I'd choose Zoho if you expect the site to grow into a small team and might eventually use other Zoho business tools.

3. migadu.com — best if you need lots of addresses/domains

Migadu has a particularly interesting pricing model: you aren't charged separately for every mailbox/address. Its current plans include unlimited addresses, with limits based on overall account usage. Migadu

That makes it compelling if your partnership site could eventually have dozens or hundreds of functional addresses, e.g.:

partners@
contributors@
authors@
editors@
submissions@
podcasts@
events@
reviews@
brandname@
...

The tradeoff is that I'd rank its overall user experience/admin experience below Fastmail.

What I'd pick

One important distinction: email hosting isn't the same as an email-sending platform. If your content partnership site will send newsletters, outreach campaigns, or large volumes of partnership emails, I'd keep the mailbox provider separate from a transactional/marketing email service. Zoho, for example, explicitly says its regular Mail service isn't intended for mass/marketing email to unknown senders. Zoho

For your specific use case, I'd start with Fastmail unless price is the dominant concern. Its combination of catch-all + aliases + multiple domains is unusually well suited to a partnership site. Fastmail

If you tell me roughly how many people will have inboxes (1, 2–5, or 10+) and your monthly budget, I can narrow it down to the best plan rather than just the best provider.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize three things: catch-all support, lots of aliases without creating separate paid inboxes, and good deliverability.

My pick: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the best fit if you want something clean and low-maintenance.

• Catch-all addresses: supported.
• Aliases: you can create extra addresses that route to one or more users/inboxes. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.com
• Multiple domains: Fastmail says you can add up to 100 domains to an account. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.com
• Send from aliases: supported, which is useful if you want partnerships@, editorial@, contributors@, etc. to appear as distinct identities.
• Good for a small team: you can keep one real mailbox while having many public-facing addresses.

For example:

hello@site.com
partnerships@site.com
collabs@site.com
contributors@site.com
press@site.com
sponsors@site.com
editorial@site.com
anything-random@site.com  ← catch-all

All of those can ultimately land in the appropriate inbox without you maintaining a separate mailbox for every address.

Strong alternative: Zoho Mail

Zoho Mail is particularly attractive if cost is the main consideration or you expect to have more formal organizational needs.

Zoho explicitly supports catch-all addresses and multiple aliases. Its current documentation says a mailbox can have up to 30 aliases (29 additional aliases plus the primary address). www.zoho.com

It also supports groups, multiple domains, domain aliases, SPF/DKIM/DMARC and other business-email administration features. www.zoho.com

Another option: Migadu

Migadu is worth considering if your requirement is lots and lots of addresses/domains rather than lots of individual users.

Its paid plans advertise unlimited addresses and support domain aliases, which can be very useful for a portfolio of content sites. migadu.com

What I'd choose

For your specific use case, I'd start with Fastmail unless you're planning to operate a large network of domains. A content partnership site often ends up needing addresses like brand@, editor@, partnerships@, guestposts@, sponsored@, etc., and Fastmail's alias/catch-all model is very well suited to that. www.fastmail.com

One important distinction: aliases ≠ separate inboxes. If you want partnerships@ and editorial@ to be handled by different people with separate logins, you'll want actual users/mailboxes or groups rather than simply aliases.

If you tell me roughly how many domains, inboxes, and aliases you need (e.g. 1 domain + 2 people + 50 aliases), I can narrow it down to the cheapest/best setup.

For a content partnership site—where you may want addresses like hello@, partnerships@, contributors@, press@, plus lots of one-off aliases—I’d narrow it to Fastmail vs. Zoho Mail.

My recommendation: Fastmail

fastmail.com is probably the best fit if this is a small team and you care about simple administration + lots of aliases + catch-all.

Fastmail explicitly supports wildcard/catch-all aliases and aliases that route to one or more users or even an external address. It also allows up to 100 domains in an account. Fastmail Fastmail

When I'd choose Zoho instead

zoho.com is especially attractive if you're trying to keep costs down or expect the site to develop more of a business/operations stack.

Zoho supports:

• Catch-all addresses for an entire domain. Zoho
• Up to 30 aliases per mailbox. Zoho
• Group addresses for things like partnerships@domain.com. Zoho
• Multiple domains and domain aliases. Zoho
• SPF, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI administration. Zoho

For a content partnership operation, 30 aliases per mailbox is already quite generous.

How I'd structure your email

I'd avoid creating a separate paid mailbox for every address. Instead:

you@site.com                 ← primary mailbox

partnerships@site.com        → you
contributors@site.com        → you
editorial@site.com           → you
press@site.com               → you
hello@site.com               → you
billing@site.com             → you

anything-else@site.com       → catch-all

Then, as the site grows, you can turn important addresses into shared/group inboxes:

partnerships@ → you + partner manager
editorial@    → you + editors
press@        → communications team

One important caution: catch-all is excellent for a partnership site because you don't want to lose an inbound opportunity because someone emails partnership@ instead of partnerships@. But it can also attract a lot of spam, so I'd keep the catch-all monitored/filtered rather than treating it as your primary inbox.

Bottom line

Choose Fastmail if your main requirement is excellent email hosting with flexible aliases and catch-all, without paying for unnecessary office software.

Choose Zoho Mail if price and business/admin features matter more and you're comfortable with a somewhat more enterprise-oriented interface.

I'd only choose Google Workspace if you also specifically want Gmail + Google Drive/Docs/Meet for the content partnership team. For email alone, you're paying for a lot more than you need.

If you tell me roughly how many people will have mailboxes and how many domains you plan to use, I can give you a concrete setup (including which addresses should be aliases vs. actual mailboxes) and estimate the monthly cost.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize three things: catch-all support, lots of aliases without paying for a mailbox per address, and reliable outbound deliverability.

My pick: Zoho Mail

Zoho is probably the best fit if you're building a small-to-medium partnership/content operation.

• Catch-all: Yes. You can route mail sent to nonexistent addresses to a designated mailbox. Zoho
• Aliases: Up to 30 aliases per mailbox (29 additional aliases plus the primary address). Zoho
• Multiple domains: Paid organizations can manage up to 30 domains, which is useful if you eventually operate multiple sites. Zoho
• Groups: Useful for addresses such as partnerships@, contributors@, press@, etc., where multiple people need access. Zoho
• Domain authentication: Supports SPF, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI, which matters for partnership outreach and avoiding spam folders. Zoho

For example, you could have:

yourname@site.com          ← primary mailbox

partnerships@site.com      → alias
collabs@site.com           → alias
sponsors@site.com          → alias
contributors@site.com      → alias
press@site.com             → alias
hello@site.com             → alias

anything@site.com          → catch-all

That lets you present different addresses publicly while keeping the operation relatively simple.

zoho.com

Other options worth considering

The important distinction is that aliases aren't separate inboxes. If you want partnerships@, press@, and sponsors@ to all arrive in your inbox, aliases are ideal. If you need different people to independently manage those addresses, groups/shared mailboxes are more appropriate.

What I'd do for a content partnership site

I'd set up:

Primary

• you@domain.com

Public-facing aliases

• partnerships@domain.com
• collabs@domain.com
• press@domain.com
• hello@domain.com
• contributors@domain.com

Catch-all

• *@domain.com → your primary mailbox

Then configure SPF + DKIM + DMARC from day one.

One caveat: catch-all addresses can attract a lot of spam, so I wouldn't use the catch-all as your primary public address. Use specific aliases for published addresses and let the catch-all serve as a safety net.

If you tell me roughly how many domains, mailboxes, and aliases you expect (e.g. 1 domain / 2 people / 50 aliases), I can narrow this down to the cheapest setup and exact plan I'd choose.

If you tell me roughly how many domains, mailboxes, and aliases you expect (e.g. 1 domain / 2 people / 50 aliases), I can narrow this down to the cheapest setup and exact plan I'd choose.

For a content partnership site—where you may want addresses like partners@, editor@, submissions@, individual contributor aliases, and a catch-all—I’d choose Fastmail.

My ranking

Why I'd pick Fastmail

Fastmail is particularly well suited to the structure you're describing:

• Catch-all/wildcard addresses: You can receive mail sent to any address on your custom domain, even if you haven't explicitly created that address. Fastmail Fastmail
• Lots of aliases: Fastmail currently supports up to 600 aliases, plus additional aliases based on the number of users. Fastmail Fastmail
• Aliases can send and receive, rather than being merely forwarding addresses. Fastmail
• Multiple domains: You can have up to 100 domains and can even mirror domains, which could be useful if your partnership operation eventually has several brands/sites. Fastmail
• One inbox can handle multiple addresses, so you don't need a separate paid mailbox for every function. Fastmail

For example, you could have:

hello@yoursite.com
partners@yoursite.com
editor@yoursite.com
submissions@yoursite.com
press@yoursite.com
firstname@yoursite.com
*@yoursite.com       ← catch-all

And route several of those to the appropriate person/inbox.

When I'd choose Zoho instead

Zoho Mail is worth considering if keeping costs down is your primary concern or if you want a broader business-software ecosystem. Its aliases can send and receive through the same mailbox and can be filtered separately, which is useful for separating partnership inquiries from editorial mail. Zoho

For a small content operation, though, I think Fastmail has the cleaner email-centric experience and is less likely to feel like you're buying an entire office suite just to host email.

Bottom line: Fastmail is my recommendation for your use case. If you tell me roughly how many people will need actual inboxes (e.g. 1, 3, 10+) and whether you need Google Docs/Calendar/Drive, I can narrow it down to the most cost-effective plan.

For a content partnership site—where you may want addresses like hello@, partnerships@, contributors@, editor@, and lots of one-off addresses—I’d choose Fastmail.

My ranking

Why I'd pick Fastmail

Fastmail explicitly supports wildcard/catch-all aliases, so mail sent to essentially any address at your domain can land in your inbox. It also lets you create additional addresses that deliver to the same mailbox. Fastmail Fastmail

That is particularly useful for a partnership/content site. You could have:

• hello@yourdomain.com
• partnerships@yourdomain.com
• submissions@yourdomain.com
• contributors@yourdomain.com
• press@yourdomain.com
• sponsors@yourdomain.com
• john@yourdomain.com
• campaign-nytimes@yourdomain.com
• anything-you-want@yourdomain.com ← catch-all

You don't necessarily need a separate paid mailbox for each of those. Fastmail's aliases can route multiple addresses into the appropriate user's inbox, and its business plans support shared addresses such as support@. Fastmail Fastmail

The catch-all is especially valuable if you're doing outreach/partnerships. You can give each partner a unique address—for example acme@yourdomain.com—without having to pre-create it. Later, you can filter or disable addresses that start attracting spam. Fastmail Fastmail

Zoho is the alternative I'd seriously consider

zoho.com is probably the better choice if cost is your primary concern or you're building a more traditional multi-user business email setup.

Zoho supports both catch-all addresses and aliases. Its aliases can receive and send from the same mailbox, and you can use filters based on the alias to organize incoming mail. Zoho Zoho Corporation

It also has stronger organizational features if you eventually have multiple people handling partnership inquiries, including groups and multiple domains. Zoho

What I'd do for your site

If you're starting with 1–3 people, I'd use:

Fastmail + your own domain

and structure it roughly as:

you@domain.com              ← actual mailbox
partnerships@domain.com     → you
hello@domain.com            → you
submissions@domain.com      → you
press@domain.com            → you

*@domain.com                → catch-all

Then use the catch-all for tracking/segmentation, rather than creating hundreds of permanent aliases.

One important caveat: catch-all mailboxes attract spam, so I wouldn't expose the catch-all address itself publicly. Use specific aliases publicly and let the wildcard serve as your safety net.

Bottom line:

• 🥇 Fastmail — my recommendation for your use case
• 🥈 Zoho Mail — choose this if keeping the cost very low matters more
• 🥉 Google Workspace — only if you also want Gmail/Drive/Docs as the core business suite

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email and how many domains/sites you plan to run, I can recommend the specific plan and setup (including the cheapest way to get dozens/hundreds of aliases).

For a content partnership site where you expect addresses like partnerships@, editors@, hello@, press@, plus lots of one-off aliases, I’d narrow it to Fastmail vs. Zoho Mail.

My pick: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the best fit if email itself is the main requirement.

• Catch-all/wildcard aliases: supported. You can route mail sent to any nonexistent address on your domain into one mailbox. Fastmail
• Lots of aliases: aliases don't require separate user mailboxes, so you can have addresses such as partners@, media@, sponsors@, submissions@, etc. Fastmail
• Multiple domains: Fastmail says one account can support up to 100 domains. Fastmail
• Aliases can route to one or more users or even an external address, which is useful if you eventually connect a CRM or forwarding workflow. Fastmail
• You can also send/reply using the alias address, rather than merely receiving mail.

For a small content business, that's a particularly clean setup: 2–3 real inboxes + dozens of functional aliases rather than paying for a mailbox for every address.

Zoho Mail is the value choice

Zoho Mail is worth considering if keeping costs down is more important than having the nicest email experience.

Zoho supports both email aliases and catch-all addresses. Zoho Zoho Corporation It also supports group addresses, multiple domains, forwarding and routing. Zoho

One caveat: Zoho's free tier is limited/region-dependent, and features such as IMAP and forwarding are associated with paid plans. Zoho

What I'd choose

Recommendation: Go with Fastmail if this site is primarily an email/content-partnership operation. Go with Zoho Mail if you expect to build a larger organization around Zoho's other business tools.

One important distinction: don't confuse aliases with mailboxes. For example, you could have:

• you@site.com → actual inbox
• partnerships@site.com → alias
• collaborations@site.com → alias
• editors@site.com → alias
• press@site.com → alias
• *@site.com → catch-all

That lets you project a much larger organization without actually maintaining six separate inboxes.

For a content partnership site, where you may want addresses like hello@, partners@, editor@, submissions@, plus lots of aliases and a catch-all, I’d choose Zoho Mail.

My recommendation

Why Zoho stands out: it explicitly supports catch-all addresses, multiple aliases on one mailbox, group addresses, and multiple domains. Zoho currently documents up to 30 aliases per mailbox. Zoho Zoho Zoho

For example, you could have:

• you@site.com → main mailbox
• hello@site.com → alias
• partners@site.com → alias
• collabs@site.com → alias
• submissions@site.com → alias
• press@site.com → alias
• podcasts@site.com → alias
• anything-random@site.com → catch-all

All the aliases can land in the same mailbox, while the catch-all catches addresses you haven't explicitly created. Zoho Zoho

One important caveat

I wouldn't leave the catch-all enabled forever without monitoring it. Catch-alls can attract significant spam because every typo and guessed address becomes deliverable. Zoho itself warns about increased spam/receiving limits and recommends using specific aliases where possible. Zoho

What I'd do for your site

Zoho Mail + your own domain is probably the sweet spot.

I'd structure it as:

you@domain.com — actual mailbox
hello@domain.com — alias
partners@domain.com — alias
content@domain.com — alias
submissions@domain.com — alias
press@domain.com — alias
catchall@domain.com — catch-all destination

If this is a small content partnership operation (1–5 people), I'd favor Zoho over Google Workspace because you don't really need to pay for a full productivity suite just to get email. Zoho also supports group addresses if some addresses eventually need to be shared by several people. Zoho Zoho

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email and whether you need to send from the aliases, I can narrow it down to the best Zoho vs Fastmail vs Google Workspace plan for you.

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Fastmail or Zoho Mail. Both support exactly the two features you care about: catch-all addresses + lots of aliases.

My recommendation

I’d lean Fastmail if this is primarily a website where a small team needs professional email without a lot of administrative overhead. Fastmail specifically supports wildcard/catch-all aliases and aliases that route to one or more users or even external addresses. Fastmail

Zoho Mail is the better choice if you expect the operation to become more structured—for example, multiple contributors, departments, shared inboxes, groups, and several domains. Zoho supports catch-all mailboxes and up to 30 aliases per mailbox. Zoho Zoho Zoho

How I'd structure your site

Suppose your domain is example.com. You could have:

• hello@example.com → general inquiries
• partnerships@example.com → brand/content partnerships
• submissions@example.com → contributor submissions
• press@example.com → media
• billing@example.com → financial matters
• john@example.com → individual team member
• anything@example.com → catch-all

The important distinction is that aliases don't necessarily require separate inboxes/users. For example, partnerships@, hello@, and press@ can all route to the same person's mailbox, while actual team members get their own accounts. Zoho explicitly supports this model. Zoho

One caution about catch-all

I'd use catch-all, but don't rely on it for everything. Catch-all addresses can attract a lot of spam because messages to arbitrary addresses at your domain will be accepted. Zoho itself warns that catch-all configurations can increase spam and potentially affect receiving limits. Zoho

For a partnership site, though, catch-all can be genuinely useful if you're worried about missing outreach sent to something like collab@, partners@, or a guessed address.

Bottom line:

• Small team / simplicity → Fastmail
• Growing content business / more admin features → Zoho Mail
• Need catch-all + lots of aliases specifically → both are strong choices
• I would not pay for a separate mailbox for every public-facing address.

If you tell me how many people will have inboxes and roughly how many aliases/domains you need, I can recommend the specific plan and estimate the monthly cost.

For a partnership site, though, catch-all can be genuinely useful if you're worried about missing outreach sent to something like collab@, partners@, or a guessed address.

Bottom line:

For a content partnership site where you want a professional domain, catch-all mail, lots of aliases, and the ability to manage several addresses from a small team, I’d shortlist these:

My recommendation: Zoho Mail

For your particular use case, Zoho is probably the best choice.

It explicitly supports catch-all addresses, where mail sent to nonexistent addresses on your domain is delivered to a designated mailbox. Zoho Zoho

It also supports multiple aliases on one mailbox, currently documenting a limit of 30 aliases per mailbox. Zoho Zoho

So you could have something like:

• hello@yourdomain.com
• partnerships@yourdomain.com
• collaborate@yourdomain.com
• creators@yourdomain.com
• brands@yourdomain.com
• media@yourdomain.com
• john@yourdomain.com

…and route several of those into the same underlying mailbox rather than paying for a separate user for every address.

Zoho also supports group addresses, which is useful if, for example, both you and a partner need access to partnerships@.... Zoho

One important caveat about catch-all

I wouldn't use catch-all as the primary way of handling your partnership addresses.

A content partnership site could receive a lot of automated outreach and spam, and Zoho itself warns that catch-all configurations can attract spam to nonexistent addresses and potentially contribute to receiving-limit problems. Zoho

I'd structure it like this:

Primary mailbox
→ you@domain.com

Aliases
→ hello@, partnerships@, brands@, creators@, etc.

Groups/shared addresses
→ partnerships@ if multiple people need to work from it

Catch-all
→ catchall@domain.com, mainly as a safety net for unexpected addresses

That gives you the flexibility you're looking for without turning the catch-all mailbox into a giant spam bucket.

When I'd choose Google instead

I'd choose Google Workspace if your workflow is heavily dependent on Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, etc. Google currently allows up to 30 aliases per user at no extra cost, with mail to those aliases delivered to the user's primary inbox. Google Workspace Help

So:

Zoho = best value/flexible email infrastructure

Google Workspace = best productivity ecosystem

Microsoft 365 = best if you're already invested in Outlook/Teams/Office

For a content partnership site specifically, I'd start with Zoho Mail unless you already live in Google Workspace.

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email (1, 2–5, 10+) and how many domains you need, I can recommend the exact Zoho/Google plan and an ideal mailbox/alias structure.

For a content partnership site where you want a professional domain, lots of role-based addresses, and a catch-all, I’d shortlist Fastmail and Zoho Mail.

My pick: Fastmail

fastmail.com is probably the best fit if your priority is simple, flexible email management rather than a whole business software suite.

It supports:

• Catch-all/wildcard aliases — useful for addresses such as anything@yourdomain.com without having to create each one individually.
• Multiple aliases that can route to one or multiple users.
• Aliases can even route to an external address such as a CRM.
• Multiple domains — Fastmail says an account can support up to 100 domains.
• Sending/replying from the address a message was sent to. Fastmail

For a partnership site, you could have:

hello@site.com
partners@site.com
collabs@site.com
press@site.com
media@site.com
submissions@site.com
firstname@site.com

…and have many of these land in the same inbox.

Best value / business-suite option: Zoho Mail

zoho.com is the one I'd choose if you're trying to keep costs down or expect the operation to grow into a larger business setup.

Zoho explicitly supports both catch-all addresses and multiple aliases. Its current documentation says you can have up to 30 aliases per mailbox, and aliases can be used to receive mail at multiple addresses in the same mailbox. Zoho Zoho Zoho

It also supports:

• Multiple domains
• Domain aliases
• Group addresses
• Custom "From" addresses
• Admin controls
• SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration
• More extensive organizational/business features Zoho Zoho

What I'd choose for your use case

Bottom line: I'd go with Fastmail for a lean content-partnership business. The combination of aliases + wildcard catch-all + multiple domains is particularly well suited to a site where you may invent new addresses for different partnerships, campaigns, contributors, or acquisition channels.

One caveat: catch-alls can attract a lot of spam because every nonexistent address becomes potentially valid. Zoho itself recommends caution with catch-alls for this reason. Zoho

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email and whether you need to send outbound email from dozens of different aliases, I can narrow this down to the best specific plan and setup.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize:

• Custom domain support (you@yourbrand.com)
• Catch-all addresses (anything@yourbrand.com)
• Many aliases (partners@, press@, hello@, creator-name@, campaign-specific addresses)
• Good deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
• Shared inbox/team features if multiple people will manage partnerships

My top choices:

1. Fastmail — best overall for a content partnership operation

Best fit if you want a professional mailbox system without unnecessary extras.

Pros

• Custom domains
• Unlimited aliases on paid plans
• Catch-all support
• Excellent filtering and rules
• Good IMAP/JMAP support
• Fast, clean interface
• Strong privacy posture

Good setup example:

• hello@site.com → main inbox
• partners@site.com → partnerships
• press@site.com → media
• firstname@site.com → team members
• anything@site.com → catch-all for tracking contacts

Fastmail is frequently recommended for users who want custom-domain email plus aliases without running a full office suite. The Software Scout

Best for: small media companies, newsletters, creator networks, partnership-driven sites.

2. Google Workspace — best if you need collaboration

Choose this if your partnership site will involve multiple people working in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, etc.

Pros

• Gmail interface
• Shared mailboxes via groups/delegation
• Calendars
• Docs/Drive collaboration
• Familiar to agencies and partners

Cons

• Aliases and catch-all workflows are less elegant than Fastmail
• You pay per user, which can add up

Google Workspace is a common small-business choice because it combines custom email with collaboration tools. Fit Small Business

Best for: a growing team with editors, sales, partnerships, and operations.

3. Proton Mail + SimpleLogin — best for privacy-heavy setups

Good if you want lots of public-facing aliases while keeping your core inbox protected.

Pros

• Strong privacy focus
• Alias generation
• Catch-all support through alias tools
• Good for separating identities

Cons

• Less convenient for a typical business workflow
• Collaboration tools are not as mature as Google Workspace

SimpleLogin supports custom domains and catch-all-style alias workflows on paid plans. Maskmail

Best for: investigative publishing, privacy-focused communities, solo operators.

4. Zoho Mail — best budget option

Pros

• Cheap
• Custom domains
• Business features
• Good for small teams

Cons

• Interface and ecosystem are not as polished as Google/Fastmail

Zoho is often positioned as a lower-cost business email option with custom domains and team features. TechRadar

My recommendation for your use case

For a content partnership site, I would choose:

Solo founder / small operation:

Fastmail

• 1–5 real inboxes
• unlimited aliases
• catch-all
• simple administration

Team of 3–20 people:

Google Workspace

• shared workflows
• documents
• calendars
• partner collaboration

Lots of temporary/campaign addresses:

Fastmail + alias strategy or Google Workspace + an alias service

A practical structure:

hello@domain.com        → public contact
partners@domain.com     → brand deals
media@domain.com        → press requests
creators@domain.com     → contributor outreach
billing@domain.com      → accounting
anything@domain.com     → catch-all

I would avoid self-hosting email for this unless you already manage mail servers; deliverability problems can hurt partnership outreach.

If you tell me whether this is a solo creator site, newsletter/media company, or multi-author publication, I can narrow it to the best setup and pricing tier.

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Fastmail unless you specifically want the broader Google/Microsoft office ecosystem.

My ranking

1. Fastmail — best fit

• Custom domain email
• Catch-all/wildcard addresses
• Lots of aliases without creating separate inboxes
• Aliases can route to one or multiple users
• You can send from your aliases, not just receive through them
• Supports multiple domains; Fastmail currently says up to 100 domains per account. Fastmail Fastmail
• Particularly useful for a partnership site where you might want addresses like: - partners@
• editor@
• submissions@
• sponsors@
• john@
• jane@
• anything@ via catch-all

Fastmail currently allows up to 600 aliases plus 15 per user, which is more than enough for most small content businesses. Fastmail

2. Zoho Mail — best budget choice

• Custom domains
• Catch-all support
• Aliases
• Good choice if keeping costs extremely low is more important than having the nicest email experience. Zoho explicitly documents catch-all addresses for domains. Zoho Corporation

3. Google Workspace — best if email is part of a larger team workflow

• Gmail interface
• Google Drive, Docs, Meet, Calendar, etc.
• Excellent for a partnership operation involving lots of shared documents and collaboration.
• I'd choose it over Fastmail if your team already lives heavily in Google Workspace.

What I'd actually do

For a small-to-medium content partnership site, I'd set up Fastmail + your own domain and structure it roughly like:

hello@domain.com
partners@domain.com
submissions@domain.com
editorial@domain.com
sponsors@domain.com
billing@domain.com

*@domain.com  → catch-all

Then use aliases/routing so you don't have to pay for a separate mailbox for every address. Fastmail specifically supports aliases that deliver to one or multiple users, as well as wildcard/catch-all aliases. Fastmail Fastmail

One important caveat: catch-all can attract a lot of spam, so I'd use it primarily when you have a reason to receive addresses that haven't been explicitly created. Fastmail lets you disable individual addresses that become problematic. Fastmail

Bottom line:
Fastmail > Zoho > Google Workspace for your stated requirements. If you tell me how many people will use the email and roughly how many aliases/domains you expect, I can recommend the most economical setup and plan.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize:

• Catch-all/wildcard addresses
• Lots of aliases without paying for a mailbox for every address
• Easy “send from” different aliases
• Good spam filtering
• Custom-domain support
• Room to add teammates later
• Reliable deliverability for outreach and partner communication

My recommendation: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the best fit if email itself is the main thing you need.

It explicitly supports catch-all aliases, unlimited extra addresses for your users, and aliases that can route to one or more users or even an external address. It also supports up to 100 domains per account, which is useful if your partnership operation eventually has multiple sites/domains. www.fastmail.com

Fastmail

Example setup:

• hello@site.com → main inbox
• partnerships@site.com → same inbox
• sponsors@site.com → same inbox
• editors@site.com → same inbox
• john@site.com → individual mailbox
• anything@site.com → catch-all

That gives you a clean public-facing setup without creating a separate paid user for every address.

Strong alternative: Zoho Mail

Zoho is particularly attractive if cost is important or you expect a more traditional business-email setup.

Zoho supports catch-all addresses, multiple aliases per mailbox, group addresses, custom domains, and multiple domains within an organization. Its current documentation says an individual mailbox can have up to 30 aliases. www.zoho.com

Zoho Mail

One caveat: Zoho itself warns that catch-alls can attract spam because they accept mail sent to nonexistent addresses. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com

What I'd choose

My pick: Fastmail if you're building a relatively lean content partnership operation. It's particularly nice when you want dozens of functional addresses but only a few actual people/inboxes.

I'd use Google Workspace instead if your team will heavily depend on Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, Meet, etc. The email functionality alone doesn't justify it over Fastmail for your use case.

One important point: if by “multiple aliases” you mean hundreds/thousands of unique addresses for tracking different partners, campaigns, or content placements, rather than 10–30 normal aliases, I'd approach this differently. A dedicated inbound-email/routing service can be considerably better than conventional mailbox hosting.

For a content partnership site where you expect lots of addresses such as partnerships@, authors@, media@, hello@, plus potentially arbitrary inbound addresses, I’d prioritize:

1. Catch-all support
2. Lots of aliases without paying for a mailbox for each
3. Ability to send from aliases
4. Good spam filtering
5. Multiple domains/subdomains if you launch additional sites
6. Solid deliverability/authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

My pick: Zoho Mail

zoho.com would be my first choice for your use case.

It explicitly supports both catch-all addresses and multiple aliases per mailbox. Zoho's documentation says aliases deliver into the same mailbox and can also be used as the From address when sending. Zoho Zoho

For example, you could have one actual mailbox:

you@site.com

with:

• partnerships@site.com
• collabs@site.com
• contributors@site.com
• media@site.com
• hello@site.com
• press@site.com

all going into that same mailbox. You can then use filters to sort messages based on which alias was addressed. Zoho

And the catch-all can capture addresses you haven't explicitly created—for example, someone emails jane@site.com even though you never created jane. Zoho supports configuring a catch-all account for precisely this situation. Zoho

How I'd structure your setup

I'd actually avoid creating dozens of individual mailboxes.

Something like:

Then use filters/folders to automatically separate partnership inquiries, contributor submissions, etc.

Zoho also supports multiple domains and domain aliases, which becomes useful if you eventually operate several content sites under the same organization. Zoho

Other options

Fastmail — excellent if you care primarily about having a polished, simple email experience. I'd consider it a strong alternative, but for a business/content operation where domain administration and organizational features matter, I'd lean Zoho.

Google Workspace — excellent overall, particularly if you'll heavily use Gmail/Docs/Drive, but you're paying for a more comprehensive productivity suite than you necessarily need just for email.

Cloudflare Email Routing — interesting if you mainly need forwarding/aliases, rather than a full hosted mailbox. I wouldn't make it my primary choice if you'll be doing substantial two-way email communication with partners.

Bottom line

For your particular use case: Zoho Mail.

The combination of catch-all + aliases + custom domains + domain aliasing + filters makes it unusually well suited to a content partnership site where you may not know all the addresses people will contact. Zoho Zoho

One caution: catch-all mailboxes can attract a lot of spam, so I would enable aggressive spam filtering and consider whether you really need the catch-all on your main domain. A cleaner architecture can be inbound.site.com as the catch-all while keeping your primary domain more controlled.

If you tell me how many people will actually use the email and roughly how many aliases you expect (10, 50, 500+), I can narrow this down to the cheapest/best setup and compare Zoho vs Fastmail vs Google Workspace vs Migadu.

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Zoho Mail if catch-all and lots of aliases are core requirements.

My ranking

Why Zoho stands out: it supports a domain-wide catch-all, multiple aliases on one mailbox, domain aliases, and groups. Zoho currently documents a limit of 30 aliases per mailbox (29 additional aliases plus the primary address). www.zoho.com

For example, you could have:

• hello@site.com
• partnerships@site.com
• creators@site.com
• brands@site.com
• press@site.com
• john@site.com
• john.smith@site.com

all feeding into appropriate mailboxes/aliases, while the catch-all catches things like contact@site.com even if you haven't explicitly created that address. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com

One important caveat

I wouldn't use a catch-all indiscriminately. Zoho itself warns that catch-alls can attract significant spam and potentially hit receiving limits. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com

For a partnership site, I'd structure it roughly as:

1–3 actual mailboxes

• you@
• partnerships@
• perhaps support@

Aliases

• brands@
• sponsors@
• collabs@
• media@
• press@
• creators@
• etc.

Catch-all

• Only if you specifically need to capture arbitrary addresses generated by your partnership workflows.

If you tell me roughly how many domains, mailboxes, and aliases you expect (e.g. “1 domain, 2 people, ~100 aliases”), I can tell you which of Zoho vs Fastmail vs Migadu makes the most sense and what plan you'd need.

For a content partnership site (where you may need addresses like partners@, press@, creators@, hello@, plus temporary aliases for outreach), I’d prioritize:

• Catch-all support (anything@yourdomain.com works)
• Unlimited or generous aliases
• Ability to send/reply from aliases
• Good deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
• Shared inbox/team support if multiple people will manage partnerships

My shortlist:

www.namecheap.comthesoftwarescout.com

My recommendation by scenario

1. Solo creator / small partnership site
→ Fastmail

• One real mailbox: you@site.com
• Aliases:
  • hello@site.com
  • partners@site.com
  • press@site.com
  • sponsors@site.com
  • newsletter@site.com
• Catch-all for unexpected addresses:
  • brandname@site.com
  • campaign123@site.com

Fastmail is especially attractive if you want lots of aliases without managing many mailboxes. www.namecheap.comthesoftwarescout.com

2. Multiple people handling partnerships
→ Google Workspace

• Use shared inboxes:
  • partnerships@
  • media@
  • support@
• Add aliases to users or groups
• Great if your team lives in Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and Meet. fitsmallbusiness.com

3. Maximum number of addresses cheaply
→ Migadu or Zoho Mail

• Useful if you run multiple brands, newsletters, campaigns, or contributor accounts.
• Better economics than paying for dozens of individual mailboxes. www.namecheap.com

Setup I’d use for a content partnership site

I would avoid creating dozens of paid inboxes. Instead:

Primary mailbox

• founder@domain.com

Public aliases

• hello@domain.com
• partners@domain.com
• press@domain.com
• collab@domain.com
• business@domain.com

Catch-all

• Enabled for anything else

Separate aliases for tracking outreach

• brandname+agency@domain.com (or provider-specific aliases)
• brandname+creator@domain.com

One caution: catch-all addresses can attract spam because every guessed address is accepted, so strong spam filtering and DMARC configuration matter. mail.cx

My pick:

• Fastmail if it’s a founder-led content partnership site
• Google Workspace if you expect a team of editors/partnership managers
• Zoho/Migadu if cost and many addresses matter most

I would not self-host email unless you already enjoy maintaining mail servers; deliverability problems can become a distraction. www.namecheap.comthesoftwarescout.com

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Zoho Mail unless you have a specific reason to prefer Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

My ranking

Why I'd pick Zoho

For a partnership site, you might want addresses such as:

• hello@yourdomain.com
• partners@yourdomain.com
• collabs@yourdomain.com
• press@yourdomain.com
• submissions@yourdomain.com
• editor@yourdomain.com
• john@yourdomain.com

Zoho supports multiple aliases on one mailbox, so you don't necessarily have to pay for a separate user for every address. Zoho currently documents a limit of 30 aliases per mailbox. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com

It also supports a domain-level catch-all, meaning mail sent to an address you haven't explicitly created can be delivered to a designated mailbox. www.zoho.com

That's particularly useful for a partnership site where people may invent addresses such as creator@, deals@, inquiries@, etc.

One important caveat

I wouldn't make the catch-all your primary method of handling email. Zoho itself warns that catch-alls can attract substantial spam because they accept mail addressed to nonexistent addresses. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com

I'd structure it more like:

Primary mailbox
you@domain.com

Aliases
hello@
partners@
collabs@
press@
submissions@

Catch-all
catchall@domain.com

Then use filters to automatically separate the aliases into folders/labels.

When I'd choose something else

Fastmail — I'd choose this if your priority is a really clean, lightweight email experience and you don't need a broader business suite.

Google Workspace — choose it if your content operation will heavily use Google Docs, Drive, Sheets, Meet, shared calendars, etc. The email itself isn't enough of a reason, in my view, to pay for the larger ecosystem.

Microsoft 365 — similar reasoning if your team lives in Outlook/Word/Excel/Teams.

Migadu — worth considering if you expect to operate multiple domains and a large number of addresses and want to optimize cost, but I'd favor Zoho for a normal small business because the administration is less unusual.

Bottom line: for a small-to-medium content partnership operation with one or a few domains + lots of aliases + catch-all + several real users, Zoho Mail is probably the sweet spot. Its admin system specifically supports aliases, groups, catch-all addresses, and domain aliases. www.zoho.com

Zoho Mail official site

If you tell me roughly how many people will have actual inboxes, how many aliases you need, and whether you need to send newsletters/outreach, I can narrow this down to the best plan/provider rather than just the best software.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize: custom-domain email, a true catch-all, lots of aliases, easy routing/filtering, good deliverability, and reasonable cost as you add addresses.

My picks

Fastmail is probably what I'd choose for your use case. It explicitly supports wildcard/catch-all aliases, and its aliases can route multiple addresses into the same inbox. Fastmail says accounts can have up to 600 aliases plus 15 per user, which gives you a lot of room for addresses such as partners@, sponsors@, contributors@, press@, editor@, etc. www.fastmail.com

For example, you could have:

hello@yourdomain.com
partners@yourdomain.com
submissions@yourdomain.com
sponsors@yourdomain.com
editor@yourdomain.com
press@yourdomain.com
john@yourdomain.com
*@yourdomain.com          ← catch-all

You can then use rules based on the recipient address to keep the catch-all from becoming one giant undifferentiated inbox. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.help

Zoho is the runner-up

Zoho Mail is particularly attractive if you're trying to keep costs down. It supports both aliases and catch-all accounts, and aliases can send/receive through the same mailbox. It also has filtering and organizational rules that can be useful for a partnership operation. www.zoho.com

I'd choose Zoho over Fastmail if you expect to have multiple actual users/mailboxes and want more of a traditional business-admin environment.

One important distinction

Don't confuse an alias with a mailbox.

If you have:

• partnerships@
• sponsors@
• collabs@
• media@
• hello@

you probably don't need five paid mailboxes. You can have those addresses deliver to one or a few real inboxes, depending on the provider/configuration.

For a content partnership site, I'd structure it roughly like:

Public-facing

• hello@
• partnerships@
• sponsors@
• press@

Operational

• editor@
• submissions@
• billing@

Catch-all

• *@

Then use filters/rules to automatically separate incoming mail.

Bottom line:
🥇 Fastmail — best if your priority is lots of aliases + catch-all + simplicity.
🥈 Zoho Mail — best if your priority is business administration + lower cost.
🥉 Google Workspace — best if your team lives in Gmail/Docs/Drive and you're willing to configure catch-all routing.

If you tell me how many people will actually need inboxes (e.g. 1, 3, 10) and roughly how many domains/sites you plan to run, I can narrow it down to the cheapest sensible setup.

For a content partnership site, I’d narrow it to Fastmail, Zoho Mail, and Google Workspace. All three can handle the two features you care about: catch-all addresses + multiple aliases.

My pick: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the best fit if this is a small operation and you want email to stay simple.

• Catch-all: Yes — you can create a wildcard/catch-all alias for your domain. www.fastmail.com
• Aliases: Yes — aliases can route to one or more users, and you can create additional addresses without creating separate inboxes. www.fastmail.comwww.zoho.comwww.zoho.comknowledge.workspace.google.com
• Multiple domains: Up to 100 domains per account. www.fastmail.comwww.zoho.comwww.zoho.comknowledge.workspace.google.com
• Good use case: hello@, partnerships@, contributors@, press@, john@, etc., all without needing a mailbox for every address.
• Big advantage: It's considerably less cumbersome than Google Workspace if email is basically the only thing you need.

Best budget/business option: Zoho Mail

Zoho Mail is especially compelling if you're trying to keep costs down.

Zoho supports catch-all mailboxes, multiple aliases, groups, and domain aliases. It currently documents up to 30 aliases per mailbox. www.zoho.com

For example, you could have:

partnerships@site.com
collabs@site.com
sponsors@site.com
contributors@site.com
editors@site.com
hello@site.com
anything-random@site.com  ← catch-all

All of those could ultimately be handled by one or a few actual inboxes.

One caveat: Zoho explicitly warns that catch-all accounts can attract substantial spam, so I'd use the catch-all primarily for discovering/handling addresses you actually want, rather than treating it as a permanent inbox for everything. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com

Best if you're already living in Gmail: Google Workspace

Google Workspace is the choice I'd make if you want Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, etc.

Google Workspace supports catch-all routing and allows up to 30 aliases per user at no additional cost. knowledge.workspace.google.com

The downside is that you're paying for a broader productivity suite when your actual requirement may just be email.

What I'd choose

My recommendation: Fastmail if this is primarily an email-hosting requirement.
Choose Zoho if keeping the monthly cost as low as possible is important.
Choose Google Workspace if you also want your partnership operation built around Gmail + Drive + Docs.

One important distinction: if by "multiple aliases" you mean hundreds/thousands of unique addresses for tracking different content partners or campaigns, rather than 10–30 normal business addresses, I'd approach this differently. A dedicated email-routing service in front of your mailbox can be much better than using a traditional hosted mailbox.

For a content partnership site (where you may need addresses like hello@, partners@, press@, contributors@, team@, plus lots of temporary/contact aliases), I’d prioritize:

• Custom domain support
• Catch-all addresses
• Unlimited or generous aliases
• Ability to send/reply from aliases
• Shared inboxes or team collaboration
• Good spam filtering (catch-alls attract junk) help.dreamhost.com

My recommendations:

What I would choose for your use case

Option 1 — Best overall: Fastmail

• Use:
  • you@site.com → personal mailbox
  • hello@site.com → alias
  • partners@site.com → alias/shared workflow
  • press@site.com → alias
  • anything@site.com → catch-all
• Great if one or two people run the site and you want a clean inbox.

Option 2 — Best if you have collaborators: Google Workspace

• Better if you need:
  • shared calendars
  • Google Drive
  • Docs collaboration
  • multiple staff accounts
  • group inboxes

Option 3 — Lowest cost: Namecheap Private Email

• Good if you mainly need professional addresses and routing.
• Less ideal if you expect a growing editorial team.

A setup I’d avoid: running a catch-all as your main public inbox without filters. It will eventually receive typo spam, bot-generated addresses, and junk. A better pattern is:

• Real mailbox: admin@site.com
• Public aliases: hello@, partners@, media@, submissions@
• Catch-all: only as a safety net, heavily filtered

For a content partnership site, my shortlist would be:

1. Fastmail — best pure email choice
2. Google Workspace — best team/business choice
3. Zoho Mail — best budget business choice

If you tell me whether this is a solo creator site, a small editorial team, or a larger partnership network, I can narrow it down further.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize:

• Custom domain email (e.g., hello@site.com)
• Catch-all support (e.g., anything sent to partnername@site.com arrives somewhere)
• Unlimited or generous aliases (press@, sponsors@, writers@, podcasts@, etc.)
• Multiple users/shared inboxes if you have partners or editors
• Good deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
• Ability to send as aliases, not just receive

My shortlist:

thesoftwarescout.com

My recommendation by scenario

1. You are a small content partnership site (1–5 people):
→ Fastmail
You can have:

• you@domain.com
• editor@domain.com
• partnerships@domain.com
• press@domain.com
• unlimited-ish alias workflows

It avoids paying for every possible mailbox.

2. You need a real team inbox:
→ Google Workspace
Use:

• hello@
• partners@
• submissions@
• advertising@

with shared inbox/routing workflows.

3. You expect hundreds of inbound contacts and want address flexibility:
→ Migadu or Fastmail + aliases

A catch-all is especially useful for content partnerships because you can create addresses like:

• brandname@yourdomain.com
• conference2026@yourdomain.com
• agencyname@yourdomain.com

and identify where messages originated. Catch-all systems accept addresses that have not been explicitly created, which is useful but can increase spam if unmanaged. proton.me

Setup I’d use for a content partnership brand

Primary mailbox

• founder@domain.com

Public addresses

• hello@domain.com
• partners@domain.com
• press@domain.com
• sponsors@domain.com
• submissions@domain.com

Catch-all

• Deliver unknown addresses to inbox@domain.com

Aliases

• brandA@domain.com
• creatorX@domain.com
• event2026@domain.com

One caution: avoid relying only on catch-all for everything. A public hello@ or partners@ address looks more professional, while catch-all is best as a safety net.

If I were launching a content partnership site today, I’d pick Fastmail for a lean operation or Google Workspace if multiple collaborators will live in the inbox daily.

For a content partnership site, I’d prioritize:

• Catch-all / wildcard addresses
• Lots of aliases without paying for a mailbox for each one
• Ability to send from aliases, not just receive
• Good deliverability and SPF/DKIM/DMARC
• Shared/team inboxes if multiple people will handle partnerships
• Easy support for multiple domains if you later launch related sites

My picks

\*Catch-all/alias behavior can depend on how the domain and routing are configured.

🥇 I'd choose Fastmail

Fastmail is particularly well suited to what you're describing. It explicitly supports wildcard/catch-all aliases, and aliases can deliver to one or multiple users—or even an external address. You can also send using those aliases. www.fastmail.com

For example, you could have:

• hello@site.com
• partners@site.com
• brands@site.com
• creators@site.com
• press@site.com
• submissions@site.com
• billing@site.com
• anything-you-invent@site.com

without creating a separate mailbox for each. Fastmail currently allows up to 600 aliases per account, plus 15 per user. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.help

That's a very good fit for a partnership/content operation where you might want different addresses for different functions while keeping the number of actual inboxes small.

🥈 Migadu if you're going to have tons of addresses

Migadu is worth serious consideration if your plan is something like multiple content sites + hundreds of aliases/addresses.

Its pricing is account-based rather than charging for every mailbox/address, and its current plans advertise unlimited addresses and multiple domains within the plan's usage limits. www.migadu.com

The tradeoff is that it's more utilitarian. I'd pick Fastmail if you care about a polished day-to-day email experience; Migadu if address/domain economics are the priority.

🥉 Zoho if price matters most

Zoho Mail supports catch-all addresses and currently allows 30 aliases per mailbox. Paid organizations can have up to 30 domains. www.zoho.com

It's a solid choice if you're building a relatively conventional small business and don't need hundreds of aliases.

What I wouldn't do

I wouldn't self-host email for this. Email deliverability, reputation, spam handling, DNS configuration, and blacklisting are enough of a headache that saving a few dollars isn't worth it for a partnership business.

I also wouldn't automatically choose Google Workspace just because it's the most familiar. If your main requirement is "lots of addresses pointing to a small number of actual inboxes", Fastmail/Migadu are more naturally aligned with that use case.

My recommendation:
Fastmail Standard for one site/small team → Migadu if you expect lots of domains and aliases → Google Workspace if the team heavily uses Gmail/Drive/Docs.

If you tell me roughly how many people will need inboxes, how many aliases you expect, and whether you have 1 or multiple domains, I can narrow it down to the cheapest setup that won't become annoying later.

For a content partnership site where you expect lots of inbound addresses—e.g. partners@, editor@, sponsors@, press@, individual contributor aliases, and potentially unknown addresses—I’d shortlist Zoho Mail and Fastmail.

My recommendation: Zoho Mail

Zoho Mail is probably the best fit if catch-all + lots of aliases + low cost are your priorities.

• Catch-all: Yes. You can designate a mailbox or group to receive mail sent to nonexistent addresses on your domain. www.zoho.com
• Aliases: Yes. Zoho says you can create up to 30 aliases per user. www.zoho.com
• Multiple domains: Yes, including domain aliasing, so you can manage related domains under one organization. www.zoho.com
• Groups: Useful if partnerships@, submissions@, etc. need to reach multiple people rather than one mailbox. www.zoho.com
• Business-oriented admin: Good if the site eventually has several people handling partnerships.

A setup I'd use:

Runner-up: Fastmail

Fastmail is arguably nicer to use if this is primarily a small operation rather than a growing team.

It supports custom domains, aliases, and a wildcard/catch-all alias. Fastmail also says aliases can route to one or more users—or even an external address such as a CRM. www.fastmail.com

That makes Fastmail particularly attractive if you want something like:

partnerships@domain.com → your inbox
sponsors@domain.com → your inbox
crm@domain.com → CRM
*@domain.com → catch-all

What about Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is excellent if you specifically want Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Calendar, etc., but I wouldn't choose it solely for this use case. If email infrastructure flexibility—especially catch-all behavior—is the deciding factor, Zoho/Fastmail are more compelling.

Bottom line

Choose Zoho Mail if you want the best combination of catch-all + many aliases + groups + multiple domains + business administration.

Choose Fastmail if you have a small team and prioritize a cleaner, simpler email experience.

One important caveat: catch-all mailboxes attract spam, because bots can send to essentially any address at your domain. I'd use the catch-all primarily as a safety net and make your actual published addresses aliases/groups with appropriate spam filtering.

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email (1, 2–5, 10+) and whether you need Gmail-like apps/Google Drive, I can narrow it down to the best plan and estimate the monthly cost.

For a content partnership site, where you may want addresses like hello@, partners@, press@, jane@, plus lots of campaign-specific aliases, I’d prioritize catch-all + aliases + good deliverability + easy administration.

My pick: Zoho Mail

Zoho Mail

It fits your use case particularly well:

• Catch-all: Zoho can route mail sent to nonexistent addresses to a designated mailbox or group. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com
• Multiple aliases: You can have up to 30 aliases per mailbox (29 additional addresses plus the primary). www.zoho.com
• Multiple domains: Paid accounts can manage up to 30 domains, which is useful if your partnership operation eventually acquires additional sites. www.zoho.com
• Groups: Addresses such as partners@domain.com can be set up for multiple people rather than requiring another individual mailbox. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com
• Domain aliases: You can map another domain onto your existing setup without creating a separate mailbox structure. www.zoho.comwww.zoho.com
• It has the usual SPF/DKIM/DMARC-oriented domain administration, which matters for partnership outreach and avoiding spam-folder problems. www.zoho.com

How I'd structure it

For example:

The important distinction is that aliases aren't the same thing as separate mailboxes. If 15 addresses ultimately need to land in your inbox, aliases are ideal. If different people need independent inboxes, use separate users/mailboxes.

One caution about catch-all

Catch-all is extremely convenient for a partnership site because people will inevitably email things like sponsors@, collab@, partnerships@, etc. But it can also attract a lot of spam, because essentially every address at your domain becomes deliverable.

I'd therefore use:

specific aliases/groups → normal workflow
catch-all → safety net

rather than treating the catch-all as your primary address.

What I'd choose

1. Zoho Mail — best overall for your use case
Best combination of aliases, catch-all, groups, domains and administration.

2. Fastmail — best if it's primarily you/small team
Excellent email experience, but I'd lean Zoho if the site is going to become a more structured partnership operation.

3. Google Workspace — best if you also need Google Docs/Drive/Calendar
Great ecosystem, but you're paying for a much broader productivity suite when your key requirement is flexible email routing.

Bottom line: I'd start with Zoho Mail on your own domain, create a small number of real mailboxes, use aliases/groups heavily, and configure one catch-all as the safety net. Zoho explicitly supports this combination. www.zoho.com

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the site (1, 2–5, or 5+) and whether you need to send outbound partnership emails from dozens of different aliases, I can narrow it down to the best specific plan/provider rather than just the software.

For a content partnership site, where you may want addresses like hello@, partners@, submissions@, editor@, plus lots of one-off aliases and a catch-all, I’d narrow it to Fastmail vs. Zoho Mail.

My pick: Fastmail

Fastmail is probably the best fit if your priority is simple, flexible email management rather than a whole business-software suite.

It supports:

• Catch-all / wildcard aliases — e.g. *@yourdomain.com
• Multiple aliases pointing to one or more inboxes
• Sending from your aliases, so partners@ can also be a legitimate From address
• Multiple custom domains
• Rules that can sort mail based on which address received it
• Catch-all addresses without needing to create a separate mailbox for every address www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.help

That's particularly useful for a partnership site. You could have:

hello@site.com
partners@site.com
submissions@site.com
press@site.com
john@site.com
*@site.com  ← catch-all

…and route most/all of those into one or a few actual inboxes.

Zoho Mail is the better value/business-admin option

Zoho Mail is also a very strong choice. It explicitly supports catch-all addresses, multiple aliases, groups, custom domains, and domain aliases. Zoho says you can create up to 30 aliases per account. www.zoho.com

I'd choose Zoho if you're expecting to have:

• Several people managing the site
• Shared/group addresses
• More formal admin controls
• Multiple domains
• Other Zoho business applications later

Quick comparison

One important distinction: a catch-all is different from an alias. A catch-all means any otherwise nonexistent address at your domain can arrive somewhere. That's great for a partnership site because you can publish or give out addresses like brandname@site.com without having to create each one first. Fastmail specifically supports this with wildcard aliases, while Zoho implements catch-all at the domain level. www.zoho.comwww.fastmail.help

Bottom line: I'd use Fastmail if this is a lean, owner-operated content partnership site. I'd use Zoho Mail if you're building toward a small company with multiple collaborators and shared mailboxes.

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email and whether you need to send from hundreds of different aliases, I can narrow it down further—including which plan makes the most sense.

For a content partnership site, I’d choose Fastmail unless you specifically need Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 collaboration tools.

My ranking

🥇 Fastmail — my pick

Fastmail is particularly well suited if you want something like:

• hello@site.com
• partners@site.com
• editor@site.com
• submissions@site.com
• sponsor@site.com
• john@site.com
• anything-else@site.com

without having to create a separate paid mailbox for every address.

Fastmail supports catch-all/wildcard aliases, so mail to arbitrary addresses at your domain can land in one account. It also lets aliases deliver to one or multiple destinations, and its documentation currently says accounts can have up to 600 aliases, plus 15 per user. www.fastmail.helpwww.fastmail.helpwww.fastmail.com

It also supports sending from aliases, which is important for a partnership site: you can receive something at partners@... and reply as partners@... rather than exposing your personal mailbox. www.fastmail.helpwww.fastmail.helpwww.fastmail.com

Fastmail also supports multiple domains—currently up to 100—which is useful if your site eventually acquires another brand/domain. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.help

🥈 Zoho Mail — best if cost is the priority

Zoho Mail is a strong alternative. It has native catch-all functionality and lets administrators exclude particular addresses from the catch-all if they start attracting spam. www.zoho.com

I'd pick Zoho if you're trying to keep the monthly cost very low and don't mind a somewhat more business-admin-oriented interface.

🥉 Proton Mail — best for privacy

Proton Mail for Business supports custom domains and catch-all addresses on paid plans. proton.me

It's a good choice if the partnership site will handle sensitive correspondence, but I'd generally prefer Fastmail for a small media/content operation because the alias/catch-all workflow is exceptionally flexible.

One important distinction

If by "multiple aliases" you mean:

I want editor@, partners@, press@, sponsors@, etc. all going into my one inbox

then Fastmail is an excellent fit.

If instead you mean:

I have 5 people and each person needs their own mailbox, while also having shared addresses like partnerships@

then I'd look more seriously at Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, because collaboration/shared-mailbox features become more important than simply having lots of aliases.

For a one-to-three-person content partnership site, my choice would be Fastmail + your own domain + a catch-all + individual aliases. It gives you a professional setup without paying for a mailbox every time you invent a new address. www.fastmail.comwww.fastmail.help

If you tell me how many people will use the email and roughly how many domains/sites you have, I can narrow it down to the cheapest setup that still gives you everything you need.

For a content partnership site where you expect lots of role-based addresses—hello@, partners@, editor@, submissions@, campaign-specific addresses, etc.—I’d choose Zoho Mail.

My ranking

Why Zoho stands out: it explicitly supports catch-all addresses, multiple aliases per mailbox, group addresses, and domain aliases. Zoho currently documents up to 30 aliases per mailbox (one primary + 29 additional aliases). www.zoho.com

For example, you could have:

• you@site.com → actual mailbox
• hello@site.com → alias
• partners@site.com → alias
• collabs@site.com → alias
• sponsors@site.com → alias
• media@site.com → alias
• anything-random@site.com → caught by your catch-all

Zoho's catch-all can route otherwise nonexistent addresses to a designated mailbox or group, which is particularly useful if partners are likely to invent or mistype addresses. www.zoho.com

One important distinction

If you're going to have multiple people handling partnership inquiries, don't make everything aliases to one person's mailbox. Use groups for addresses such as partners@ or submissions@, so several people can receive/manage the same address. Zoho supports group email addresses and group aliases. www.zoho.com

I'd structure it roughly like:

Personal mailboxes

• founder@
• editor@
• operations@

Shared/group addresses

• partners@
• submissions@
• press@

Aliases

• hello@ → founder/operations
• collab@ → partners
• contact@ → operations

Catch-all

• *@yourdomain.com → a monitored mailbox, preferably with aggressive spam filtering

When I'd pick something else

Google Workspace if your content partnership operation is heavily dependent on Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar and Meet. You're paying for a broader collaboration suite rather than just email.

Fastmail if you want a cleaner, more email-focused experience and don't need an office suite.

Microsoft 365 if your partners/team already live in Outlook and Teams.

For a small content partnership business where email infrastructure is the main concern, though, Zoho Mail is the one I'd pick. Its combination of catch-all + aliases + groups + multiple-domain support is unusually well suited to this setup. www.zoho.com

If you tell me roughly how many people will use the email (1, 2–5, 10+) and whether you already use Google Workspace, I can narrow it down to the cheapest sensible setup and exact mailbox/alias structure.
