I have a client hosted with Godaddy and I am willing to change to Heroku.
I have tried installing Heroku Add-ons but that is not what I am looking for.
How can I create custom accounts for sending and receiving emails with a custom account (client#site.com)
I don't want to send mails via node.js nor PHP.
Thank you!
Heroku will only host your HTTP website. You need another provider for emails.
GSuite will give this to you for example.
By setting up your DNS records properly, you will then be able to tell your domain name to point to Heroku for HTTP requests, and to your emails provider for receiving those messages.
I run several websites on rackspace and have been slowly converting the sites to web apps on heroku, however my clients still need email#theirdomain.com.
Most of the solutions I see on heroku are for sending notifications and not hosting email services.
Most of the email only services seem to be about email marketing not hosting. Is there a way for me to drop the rackspace server and still provide email hosting to my clients?
You can try free hosting for email at http://domains.live.com You need to be able to change your mx server to do that. Its quite simple. The interface is great and comes with smtp
i'm running a new store on magento, the contact us show successfully sent email to me, but i didn't get any email. i'm using google email address, but for the vps setting i'm not sure how to set up it. as i'm using linux vps.
If you are using personal VPS hosting, you have to install email server or ask support to do that. The most popular one for Linux is Postfix. You can find a lot of information how to install postfix depend on Linux distrubution. I recommend you to install postfix and use mysql to configure such settings like email forwarding, user list, etc.
I have Mamp Pro and have a PHP application that sends an email password to someone regestering in a regester/login system. I would like to test the email being sent on my local Mamp Pro server but cant figure out how to do it with gmail--it seems a lot of people have this problem with gmail. Are there any suggestions how I can configure an email account to test this.
Has anyone had this problem also?
Thanks

I've got an unmanaged Linux VPS running ubuntu that I'm using for the web server for a personal website. I'd like to get a barebones email server up and running. All the installation guides I've found so far are for a full-fledged email server with a webmail interface and everything. That's a lot more than I need. There's only two things I need:
My web application needs to be able to send email. Specifically, it'll be emailing me when an exception occurs.
I want all email sent to [anything]#domain.com forwarded to my personal gmail account. The server doesn't even need to retain the email or anything.
I want to reserve resources for the actual web app, so I don't want to install anything I won't need for this.
msmtp or nullmailer sounds like it would fit the bill for the former. You could use google mail for domains for the latter.
I'll Second Postfix. I've been using it since around 2000 - it's not that hard to set up. However, for what you're doing (relaying to your ISP) msmtp or nullmailer as suggested by geocar will probably do the trick - they appear to be specifically designed for this sort of role - although I've never used them so I can't really comment from experience in the way I can with Postfix.
Your web application needs a SMTP server. That server can be a hosted service like Google's or MailHop. If you really want to be an email administrator postfix should be installed HOWTO is here.
If not:
sudo apt-get install postfix
