What to know

Why it stands out

  • Aliases prevent websites from receiving the user’s primary email address and can be disabled individually after abuse or a breach.
  • The service is open source, self-hostable and supports optional PGP encryption before forwarding to the destination inbox.

Trade-offs

  • Without optional PGP delivery, the service must process readable messages and metadata while forwarding them and performing abuse or spam controls.
  • Aliases reduce identity correlation but do not provide an anonymous mailbox, hide payment information or prevent destination-mailbox providers from processing delivered messages.

Best for

People who want a different disposable or permanent email identity for every online account while continuing to use an existing inbox.

Consider another option when

Users who require the forwarding server to be technically unable to inspect plaintext email without configuring PGP.
