Requirements:
1) custom domain support
2) wildcard support (i.e. emails sent to an invalid email address will get put into a specified inbox)
3) only 1 user inbox is required; more would be nice
4) support for anti-spam/email verification technologies (i.e. DKIM, SPF, etc.)
5) not self hosted
6) excellent uptime
Does not matter if it's paid, as long as the paid product is reasonably priced.

I'm currently using Zoho (free product) which, while meeting all the requirements defined above, isn't great. It's just not bad either. I'm looking to see what HN likes.
* unlimited domains, mailboxes, storage space
* a very well-thought and honest service and UX ( I encourage you to read their "benefits" and "drawbacks" pages)
* a very responsive and helpful customer support
* hosting in a privacy minded country
