Hello. I have set up a custom domain for my google app engine application, which accepts incoming email. While this works great if you want to use an email address like [email protected], I would like to use a custom domain like [email protected]. Is it possible to do this?

A solution that will not work, is to simply use Google Apps to forward emails to the appspotmail address. This is because I accept emails to any number of email addresses at my domain, and I would need to set up this forwarding for each one - simply not doable.

Thanks for any help! Devon

App Engine doesn't currently support receiving email on custom domains. You'd need to point your MX records to a service that supports mail redirection, and have it redirect all addresses to your appspotmail subdomain.

Do you know of such a service?
