Reviews of host providers
UPDATE: it seems that the mail forwarding service of netbsd.se is not available.
netbsd.se offers @pp.netbsd.se, @netbsd.nu and @bsd.nu for free. (One alias per user.) I have registered weakish@bsd.nu .
gmail.com offers forwarding too.
chi.mp offers free domain (and mail forwarding). I've registered mail@weakish.mp and weakish@expr.mp .
There are other free email forwarding providers, but the mail addresses they privide are not nice.
about.me offers mail forwarding as user@about.me
backed up by AOL.
I've claimed weakish@about.me
but I've not activated it.
It's not mail forwarding, but you have pop access to AOL mail.
good reputation but usually out of stack
