I want to setup an email alias eg. dev#mycompany.com and have multiple recipients to that. My company's site is hosted in a heroku instance and I want to leverage the same instance for the email forwarding. Can someone please explain how this works and how I can set this up?
Heroku will only provide you with hosting for your web application. You need to use another service for your emails, like Google Apps.
If you already have email addresses for your domain name, you probably also already have a service providing this. You need to figure out which it is and configure it there.

My domain is hosted at Godaddy and my project is at Digitalocean.
I want more than 15 custom emails, I know Godaddy offers email services but it is a little expensive for me. What I want is another services who offers create emails without transfer my domain name from Godaddy.
Thanks.
You can always purchase separate email service from MXRoute or Zoho, then please make sure you edit your DNS settings and point to correct settings.
I have a domain which name is asifulmamun.info
Then, I've purchased a hosting for host website and connect this domain to hosting with cpanel by nameserver change.
I've create an email with this domain from Cpanel i.e. xx#asifulmamun.info.
Hosting provider told me that, my email has a limit for sending or receiving up to (25-30) email per hour.
But, if i will need to send/receive more than email from limitation how can I do this?
I think it's using my hosting server protocol for using mail email service.
Is it possible using another service provider protocol for using more than email from hosting server protocol?
Is it possible to use gmail server without purchase google cloude?
Is it possible, my domain will host in my exist hosting (Cpanel) and mail protocol using another service provider i.e. google, godaddy, aws or any service provider? If possible how?
Yes, you can use different service providers for incoming emails and for outgoing emails. In particular, you can use several email service providers for outgoing emails.
The "how" depends on what you want to do. I recently wrote a lengthy article on email. You find answers to all protocol-related questions there. The sections about email's architecture and its entities might be especially interesting to you.
I've purchased a domain for a website that I will host on AWS but I could not figure out how to create a custom email address for this domain. I would like to have something like marketing#domain.com.
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks
Yes. AWS has two services for email, Amazon Simple Simple Email Service (SES) and Amazon Workmail.
These two services can both send and receive email, but they are designed for different purposes. You can read more about each in the links above, and decide which one is best for you.
Its worth pointing out that you can host your mail with any provider. You can do this by setting the MX records in your DNS to the values that the mail host you select provides. Common choices for hosting mail, that are similarly priced to Amazon Workmail, are Google Workspaces (which is gmail with your own custom domain), Microsoft365, and GoDaddy has an email only plan, but there are myriad of providers that offer mail for your custom domain.
I am just getting started with AWS and EC2 and can't quite get my head wrapped around what to do with email.
On previous servers, I would use it as a mail server and on cPanel create all the email accounts I needed, and could access them through web mail.
I can't get a consistent answer on how to set up email accounts on a domain that is pointing to an EC2 instance.
My question is, how can you set up email accounts for a domain pointed at EC2 instance, and if its not possible is there a way to set up emails on a third party like gmail with the domain pointed at EC2?
Just so you know the domain is managed at GoDaddy.
Thanks
I suspect if you are trying to treat it like shared hosting, EC2 may end up being more work than its worth. If you do want to give it a shot, read on.
EC2 provides mostly barebones virtual machines that you can purpose for anything you may need. They don't come with hosting control panels as many people use instances for things other than hosting websites.
You should be able to install cpanel or directadmin, but you may have some difficulties getting it to licence correctly as licences are often tied to a public IP (In EC2 everything is NAT'd).
To set up email on your instance, you need to install some kind of email server. There are quite a few different options available depending on what host operating system you choose to use. There are alot of tutorials that can walk you through setting up a mail server.
Now, for the annoying part. All EC2 IPs are on Spamhaus blacklists. To get around this, you can you can either configure your email server to forward through Amazon SES or fill out this form to whitelist your server IP: https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/html-forms-controller/contactus/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request
Running your own email servers on ec2 is doable, but if it is my call, i'll go with something like Google Apps for Domains to handle my email accounts.
The question pretty much says it all. It's possible to connect a custom domain to appfog, but how do I configure my mail programme to send and receive emails?
Thanks!
It is possible to connect a custom domain to AppFog. You will need a paid plan to add one though. Its very easy to do through the Domain Names section of the console or through the command line interface. It then gives you the settings you'll need to configure your DNS records.
Regarding the email part of the question, this isn't managed through AppFog. You'll need to configure the MX records of the domain to a mail server/service. Often your registrar may provide a simple mail interface and either SMTP or POP3 access or you could hook it to something like Google Apps.
