Redirect all email to one domain to another via DNS

So I have a problem… and I will reward someone with liquor that can help me solve it.

I have two primary domains funvill.com and abluestar.com.

Currently I have funvill.com set up on dreamhost.com (I know, it was 2002…) with a catch all that forwards all the emails send from this address to my primary email account (@abluestar.com). I am planning on shutting down my dreamhost.com account very shortly (Jan 20th, 2016) . I would like to keep getting the emails from funvill.com in my abluestar.com account.

My question is:

Without setting up a server somewhere, is there anyway that I can update the DNS for funvill.com to point at abluestar.com for email. or update my settings in google apps to accept two domains.

I am really trying to avoid having another mail server somewhere for funvill.com

Does your registrar support email forwarding? I’m guessing not. I.e. this is what my registrar offers…

Yes, register funvill.com through another registrar (maybe use the sameone as you use for abluestar.com) and then add as an alternative domain to your google apps account (and update the dns of course).

This isn’t quite the answer you wanted but I use a fastmail account ($US40/year) for all my domain email. See https://www.fastmail.com/help/ourservice/pricing.html

Among other things, it has a nice rewrite capability so I have an alias that goes to both my wife and I for stuff we both need to know. I also use its pop reader to grab my gmail and mix it in too.

Use google apps for domain’s aliases feature.

you just need to point your MX (in dns) to google’s server and set up the aliases as pointed out by others
