you seem knowledgeable, is there a way to do this with every possible email address at your domain? Forward them all to that single other box?


Yes, and (for example) Fastmail allows you to do that very easily. So does Google if you prefer to keep the Gmail interface & are willing to pay for G Suite.

And, if your mail client’s UI allows, you can even send from <whatever>@yourdoma.in to avoid disclosing your “real” address when you reply.

My favorite use-case: you sign up for foo.com with foo@yourdomain.com. Then foo sells their contact database, and now you’re getting viagra spam all day. Ok, just add a filter to auto-trash anything addressed to foo@, and the problem is solved.


Not op, but what you described is called a catchall address. Easily done with custom domain. Basically a regex for *@domain.tld, every mail sent to (anything)@domain.tld will arrive at a preconfigured mailbox, say admin@domain.tld etc
