Seems good... no note though the UK is not the bastion of openness it should be and I dont tust their tech companies either.
Worse case scenario there's self hosting
I've been a paid user for 2 years. I can highly recommend.
Even their free tier is quite good. I also recommend
You can also link this to Bitwarden and generate aliases direct in the browser plugin. It has a tendency to forget the API keys though.
That's cool
I'm self hosting this, pretty useful and working good, I generally forget about it
This is great!
I’ve been manually doing this since I had my first domain name. For years, I used the catch-all and just put [email protected] for each entry I interacted with. I’ve shut off dozens of aliases over the years. I can tell when their email list database was leaked/sold because the spam instantly jumps for that alias.
My hosting provider shut off the catch-all years ago (still grumpy about that), so for some domains, I manually manage forwarders. I looked a bit into running my own mail server, but that’s for masochists. I was recommended https://mxroute.com/ that offers cPanel management of aliases and has a catch-all feature. I got their 10-year plan for pretty cheap. It’s a US company though.
I’m tempted to migrate. Maybe even self-host.
I jumped from Proton and SimpleLogin to selfhosted mailcow and addy.io. I could skip the addy.io part but I have some family members using it and the interface is much easier for them to figure out then the mailcow interface. Plus addy.io has great mobile apps.
The only real issue with selfhosted email is making sure you've got all your DNS records setup correctly and then making sure you have something like crowdsec watching the logs to keep the script kiddies out.
