I want to make links for people to email me in github pages but I don't want them to know my actual email. I noticed that username#github.com may be a valid email address. But when I tried emailing that address, I got this:
How do I modify the organisational settings to allow users to email me in Github. If not possible, how do I set up an email for my github page such that it becomes email#azlancoding.github.io
GitHub doesn't provide email address services for users. The domain github.com is used for GitHub staff and company usage, and GitHub doesn't offer email for github.io domains, either. Email is a service that requires extensive abuse management, both incoming and outgoing, and most sites don't want to provide that service as a result.
You can always set up an additional account, either on your own domain or elsewhere, that forwards to your real account. How to do that is probably more on topic for SuperUser, assuming you're setting up the software yourself.

I have two different servers to operate my emails.
G Suite operates e-mail for domain.com
My shared web hosting service operates e-mail for sub.domain.com
It all works when we exchange emails to other domains (gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc...).
BUT when I try to email FROM sub.domain.com TO domain.com it does not work.
Sending FROM domain.com TO sub.domain.com works.
Is Google blocking it? I cannot find any blocks on the admin console.
Any clues? I have searched stackoverflow and the internet and can´t find a solution.
DNS is managed by CloudFlare (see screenshot below).
Main domain is b12filmes.com.br; sub-domain is astro.b12filmes.com.br:
EDIT: Posted on Server Vault: https://serverfault.com/questions/1041140/email-between-domain-and-subdomain-not-working/1041142#1041142
I have been looking for this answer for weeks. Just after I posted here, a friend of mine gave me the answer:
As the sub.domain.com email is handled by cPanel and the domain.com is also hosted a the same cPanel server, cPanel tries to send the e-mail to itself.
Simple solution: on cPanel, go to E-mail Routing, select the domain.com and change the routing to "Remote Mail Exchanger".
You need to create a dns record for the "astro" subdomain.

redirect all incoming e-mail on domain to one specific e-mail address
I have a domain: example.com
and one e-mail: info#example.com
i would like to receive all e-mail what it got in my domain:
example#example.com
nospam#example.com
asdasdasd#example.com
[any random character]#example.com
I don`t want to create these e-mails one by one.
I`am using gmail (apps.google.com)
btw: my main goal to have different e-mail for different website and example+slug#example.com trick is not working because lots of website filter + letter.
This may work for you. Don't create the accounts, just set the catchall

I've been seeing email that's not directly addressed to me land up in my inbox.
My email is something#domain.com, the emails that are delivered are like something+anything#domain.com. After seeing these, I tried other suffixes after the + symbol and all of them land up in my inbox. Does anyone know why that is the case? What happens if someone else registers one of the addresses like something+1#domain.com.
I saw this reliably work for both gmail and outlook, I'm curious to know why that is the case? Is there is a technical reason why mailservers drop off these suffixes.
I'm not sure if StackOverflow is the best place for this question, please move this to another site on the network which may be a better fit if that is the case.
This is called sub-addressing. + part is treated for filtering and all.You can read about it on wiki with page title Email Address.
Also known as plus addressing ortagged addressing. Some mail services support a tag appended to the local part, such that the modified address is an alias to the unmodified address. For example, the address joeuser+tag#example.com denotes the same delivery address asjoeuser#example.com.

I will begin with saying that I am a complete novice in the field of web hosting. So I have this one domain, which was pointing to a blogger page and was configured with Google Apps for mail handling. Now, recently I purchased hosting and installed Wordpress.
I had to change the default name servers and was asked to remove the A records of ghs.google.com. Suddenly my mail stopped working, and I could only get it to work when I reverted the old default nameservers. I must mention that my mail.mydomain.com earlier opened gmail, now started opening my hosts landing page. Although the CNAME record points to Google.
What am I doing wrong? Btw, it's Linux hosting.
PS: The Google MX records are already added in the domains dns settings.
Email routing is based on MX (mail exchange) records in your DNS. You'll need to add Google's MX records to whatever service is hosting your DNS. The support for the host should be able to help you find where this goes.

My company uses Google Apps service that works with our own domain.
I wonder how Google mail server can receive emails to my_account#my_company?
Can an email reach to the mail server - in this case Google server - which differs from recipient address's domain - my_company?
As I know, my company even has our own server and public IP address which is registered on DNS.
It looks like you're missing some points on how the whole email system works.
In very basic terms, when someone sends an email to your_account#your_company.com, a DNS request is made to find out the mailserver responsible for your_company.com email handling. You can check this by yourself by querying your DNS for the MX records asigned to your domain.
So, if your company is using Google Apps to handle the company accounts, your_domain.com must have google mail servers on the MX records for everything to work properly.
This is "how the email can reach my company servers" part. Around that, there's a whole bunch of other configurations that make the thing work.
It goes to Google server first and then is just forwarded to your domain.
