why not just get your own domains and configure those to be catch-all accounts?
I do this with Proton Mail
1. I have several custom domains configured with ProtonMail that are all configured to be catchalls.
2. next time I sign up to a newsletter, I just make up an email address on the spot -- newsletter-domain. com
3. all those emails dump into my overall Proton account. If I ever need to reply to one of the emails (which I've only had to do a handful of times, it's fairly easy in Proton to temporarily create any particular account, send whatever replies, then delete the account when I'm done.
This way I end up with all of the hundreds of accounts I use having individual email accounts that I could easily move to another system if something happened with Proton.

That helped me a lot, and the VPN I used too.
The story goes like this; I entered my alias email and my password on a website I didn't trust, but you know a lot of websites were talking about it in a good way, so I trust it a bit but just to make sure that my email is save I used an alias email, and after few days I saw an email telling me my password which I generated it, and he said we would like to meet in someplace in London, because of the VPN he was thinking that I was living in London but I wasn't from there, so I deleted my alias email ASAP, so the VPN and SimpleLogin and generating a password saved me from the danger.
Edit: from that moment, I always used alias emails in all of my accounts.

Julio i couldn-t agree more. Mores the point, Simplelogin can read every email that goes the through the relay. As protection for passwords as mentioned in the video I would suggest that this is as secure as posting it the back of the local school bus. SimoleLogin would be able to see every email in the domain if you use the premium option. Great idea but I would want to self host it but it seems pretty complicated to set up. The first docker command appears to be incorrect as the postgres user is not created.

Hey, thanks for this. I would love if you made another video on this showing the steps on how to register and create multiple inboxes. It is still a bit confusing as this is a brief video on it. I would be very interested, it sounds awesome and would love to start using it! A couple of questions if you can help: 1- can those multiple inboxes be connected to Apple's mail app? 2- is there a Brave Browser pluggin to access SimpleLogin? thanks again

There-s a lot that I still don-t understand about this service, but doesn-t SimpleLogin become a hub for attackers, knowing a breach means access to that many more email inboxes? How secure and private is the personal email from being leaked to the outside? Would genuinely want to know

Works pretty good, only thing is that (on mobile at least) I can-t reply to emails. Which could be ignorable. You can just copy the -reverse alias- and send a separate email. Just not for instances when you need to directly reply to an email to confirm you have access to said mail.

I'm using the service now based on your recommendation but I have few concerns regarding it.
First does the service scan your emails before redirecting it?
What happens if they decided to stop the service? how can I get access to my accounts?

Do these email aliasing services scan your emails? Anyone know what are the privacy implications of using this vs just creating multiple email accounts and silo-ing of different aspect of your email life like in the early part of this video?

SimpleLogin is cool, I much prefer Polycred though. The extension & UI is much cleaner and is easier to use, plus it does autofill and I use that all that time. SimpleLogin felt pretty clunky to me, like it was made for really techie people.

Say you-ve already registered for a website with your real email address can you replace it with an alias and have the same benefits? or would that company still have the previously data and sell it off anyway so you still receive spam
