I’m confused. Why do you want this? You don’t trust a provider to forward your email?

Email isn’t a trusted method of communication anyway.

The trust reason is theoretical - in practice, I would trust most decently large services especially for unimportant marketing emails (main use case).

My primary motivation in doing this was to learn to use AWS and Serverless framework and also because I really enjoy working on pet projects :)

Could you explain why email isn't trusted? It's encrypted (vs SMS) so I'd imagine it's a far more secure way of communicating sensitive information (e.g. bank statements or one time passwords).

Providers usually don't give you (unlimited number of) aliases.

If all you want to do is forward all mail for a domain somewhere you can easily do that at most domain registrars. I use this with Monicker.

Pretty sure Fastmail do (provide unlimited aliases). They certainly provide wildcard aliases, including domain wildcards.
