Mailcast receives and processes email, then routes it to another email service, multiple recipients, or a website or app through webhooks. It supports catch-all addresses, regular-expression alias matching, and plus addressing. Users can set conditional actions and add to or replace a subject before forwarding. Webhooks can receive parsed messages as JSON, form data, or multipart data with attachments, and Mailcast can send email via SMTP from alias addresses. The maker says TLS protects email while it is received and forwarded, and queued email is encrypted in storage. Successfully processed email is deleted by default; failed email is deleted with its logs, and logs are deleted after seven days. Only the subject line from message content is logged to help identify messages. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC support is listed for every plan. Mailcast is available on web and by API. The free plan costs 0.00 USD per month and includes one domain and up to 25 aliases, but excludes webhooks and sending from the domain. Paid monthly plans include Starter at 5.00 USD, Essential at 9.00 USD, and Premium at 19.00 USD; Personal costs 24.00 USD per year.
