A dollar a day is quite expensive, you can get a domain and a email prodiver for like 5€ per month.

See for example this [Dutch provider](https://www.transip.nl/webhosting/) that I myself use, but it includes webhosting. So you can probably find email providers for less.

If all you need is mail on a custom domain you can find offers for 0.5€ per month.

The problem is how effective they are at killing spam. I'm sure most of us (I still use Gmail) would jump ship in a second if there was a decent alternative that doesn't force the user to spend time training a local antispam system. Admittedly, Google is really good at that.
