I’m using AWS to host my discourse site on my own domain. Unfortunately, they don’t have a good option for incoming email. So I’m looking for a good service to handle incoming email. Specifically so I can enable the reply to post via email option.
Are there any suggestions for an affordable email hosting company? The Discourse site is for a small HOA with about 700 members. It’s a not big a site and traffic is light, so there’s no need for high volume hosting service.
EDIT: I read the post for setting up gmail, but I don’t want the email address for the site to be @gmail.com, I want it to stay @sunrisepoint.org. I know google has a $5/mo option for email but I’m thinking there might be something even cheaper that’s just as good.

> Discourse is all about enabling civilized discussion. While plenty of people like a web interface, e-mail is still the “hub” of many people’s online lives. That’s why sending e-mail is so important, and when you’re sending e-mail, you really want to be able to receive it, too. There are several reasons why: If e-mails “bounce” (they can’t be delivered for some reason), you need to know about that. Repeatedly sending e-mails that bounce will get your e-mails flagged as spam. Receiving e-ma…
