Essentially, a free catch-all for any domain with forwarding to your Gmail (Gmail only for now) inbox. Not quite Google Apps but covers a decent chunk of what I used free Google Apps for.

Speaking of which, maybe someone here will know if/how you can set up catch-all with Yandex Mail for domains[1]? The only thing I couldn't figure out.

Regarding catch-all for Yandex Mail: you can enable it. I guess you have already registered for yandex mail and added your domain. Not sure if the configuration page is available in english (couldn't find it), but on the russian page click on the second of the three top links (Мои домены) to go to your domain list. Then click on the second item of the secondary menu - (Настроить домен - configure domain). The first entry in the drop-down menu is the default address - the catch all address. Select an e-mail address to use for it and save using the button next to it. Should work now.

Interestingly, while yandex webmail has an English interface available, the page to change your password presents you with a cyrillic captcha. I run into this issue when setting up webmail for a Kenyan NGO team - since google wouldn't approve Google Apps for Education without some serious bureaucracy, Yandex Mail was used quite successfully, well, except for the password change issue.

Perfect. Thanks.

Yes, the domain control panel is in Russian only. Overall, I'm impressed with Yandex Mail. It has a few rough edges like that but also has features not even Gmail offers. Most prominently, scheduling emails.
