Web hosting with unlimited email aliases

I'm looking for a web host that will also manage email for my domain. I need to be able to configure as many email aliases as I need but I only need one actual mail account.

Catch-all isn't suitable since that may catch emails I don't want.

I've looked through some web hosts and so far they all seem to have a limit. The only one I could see that could be described as unlimited is GoDaddy but they charge an extra fee per 10 aliases, whereas I'd prefer unlimited.

    of course most reputable hosts have a limit, to stop spammers.
    Do you want to be on a server that has been blacklisted with the
    major mail clients? kind of defeats the object of having an unlimited
    supply of emails to spam from, no? even if your plan is not to spam,
    being with such a host will block many of our emails from getting to
    their destination

    Most 'cheap' hosts, will offer unlimited, but will quickly cut you off
    if you start messing around, zyma.com is one Ive used and found fairly
    reliable.

    Although its really not the amount of emails that you want to use that will
    be the problem, depending on what you want to do with all these emails, that's
    where the problem will be, most have a quota regarding the amount of emails
    you can send per hour.

    The basic domain package from names.co.uk includes unlimited email forwarding. You log in to a simple control panel and can redirect anything@yourdomain.co.uk to anywhere@anyone.co.uk and you can set up as many as you like. £4.99 per year.

    This is only basic email forwarding - it doesn't involve any facility to send email from these addresses.

    That's what I'm looking for although when I order it doesn't seem to give me the option of having the £4.99 package, only domain registration.

    The option for email is given but the cheapest package is £19, which is actually still quite cheap compared to other hosts. That one is for 250 addresses but that's probably all I need.
