Email masking services that still work for registering on websites
I've using Mozilla Relay to generate one new email address for every website that I have to register. Lately it seems tho that the big/medium sites are rejecting any email from mozmail.com, some even say "temporary email services are not allowed".
Is this just with the service from Mozilla or is it becoming general practice? Is there any service that is still flying under the radar?

addy.io has been working great for me for a few years. I've not had them rejected on any site yet. I have the cheapest plan which has been enough for me so far.
I used it on github and that got my account flagged. I had to change it to an email registered to my domain to get my account back to normal. I think there was one other site I had issues with in my years with the service but I can't remember which site it was.
Wow. Ok. I use a different email for my github account, so haven't experienced that.
I haven’t had issues anywhere with the @duck.com (duckduckgo) masking service.
Samsung rejects them.
Mmm, bummer. Good to know.
I've had a very positive experience with SimpleLogin via ProtonPass. I've only had maybe 2-3 out of 100 sites that rejected a "@passmail.net" address, but took a "proton.me".
Hi, u should use SimpleLogin or Addy as email masked, those services are Open Source and u use free plan
Addy.IO is so damned cheap and the "premium" domains will be even less likely to get blocked because they are less common.
This is true, now I remember that I can't use mail reverse because this is for premium, between other functions a lot, better use SimpleLogin :c
For 12 dollars?? Okay. But the point was just that less used (unadvertised) premium domains are much less likely to be blocked by jerky sites.
That's true, they are domains as burned as the IPs of the new Tor VPN, I didn't think before that Addy has its drawbacks bro
Rejecting temporary email (particularly mailinator but sometimes even hotmail) has been a common thing. Fastmail temporary addresses usually work, but you need a paid fastmail account to get them.
SimpleLogin has been working for me
Thinking about switching to Addy.io tho
Edit: except for github. I haven't found anything that worked to sign up for github.
Github is just going down the drain in every other way too. Start migrating what you can elsewhere.
I don't even use it, but I needed to get a project from there, and it required logging in. I couldn't manage to register and gave up
I couldn't make accounts on Bluesky and Github with SimpleLogin. Ended up using my Tuta address for bsky. Didn't try another option for Github.
Addy.io is my go to
To be honest, they will all land on radars as more their usage grows.
You may want to reach out to support, and let them know that you don't feel okay about them doing this and (if you do) therefore switch to another service provider that doesn't reject alias emails.
