I apologise if there has been some sort of misunderstanding. When I first launched the site I publicised the fact that it was in open beta whilst I was ironing out any obvious bugs…

Here is a good blog post [1] that explains backscatter and some ways to help prevent it. [1] https://willem.com/blog/2019-09-10_fighting-backscatter-spam...

I actually use the database to store all the different aliases, then Postfix does a database lookup to see if they exist or not.

I'll do my best to prevent spam being sent by the service and therefore avoid being placed on a blacklist in the first place. I know it may be difficult to avoid landing on any bla…

Not at the moment I'm afraid. It would be cool to set up an .onion address, I'll have to look into this.

Fair point, I'll try to emphasise the ease of alias creation instead going forward.

That's a really good point, I often fall into the trap of assuming things like this, thanks.

I haven't used it myself but I think Privacy.com[1] does this. [1] https://privacy.com/

Great stuff! Let me know if you have any questions.

I'll have to do some further reading on this. Do you vaguely remember where you read this and why it was not allowed?

Yes that's true you could be linked if using a custom domain and someone can determine that nobody else is sharing that domain with you. That's why I added the additional username …

Thanks, I do have a small number of instructions for self hosting[1] they're still a work in progress and you'll need to know how to manage a server from the command line etc. A fe…

I agree there may well be some challenges along the way but I'll do my best to prepare and prevent them. I'm always reading and learning more about the best measures to have in pla…

Thanks a lot. The other pages e.g. the blog, FAQ, posts etc. are just very simple layouts along with the nav bar and footer. I'm using Jigsaw[1] which is a static site generator th…

Yes a few other users have mentioned integration with password managers. I agree that would be extremely convenient, but this would obviously be up to the password manager to integ…

At the moment received emails are piped to the application where they are then forwarded on as a new email from an AnonAddy domain. So they currently pass SPF and DKIM checks as my…

Thanks for your suggestions, I agree. In the privacy policy on the site I do state that "information will not be provided under any circumstances to any parties other than when com…

I encrypt as much sensitive information in the database e.g. recipient email addresses, descriptions etc. Someone suggested the idea of creating hashed aliases, that are generated …

I've not heard of that as I normally use Mozilla Thunderbird. I'll look into it.

I've never heard of inboxalias to be honest with you, so can't comment on that.

Yes replies have to be routed through the server in order to remove any trace of the real email address sender. They are currently sent from the domain anonaddy.me. I will be addin…

As I mentioned in another comment the only true solution to that problem is to use your own domain name. I will also be adding more generic domains to use in the future for users t…

Thanks a lot, on the landing page the only javascript included is on the blog and help pages for searching. I have no idea how big the traffic spike is from this post but the serve…

Nice! I also plan to add random word aliases soon e.g. yellow.biker57@anonaddy.me etc. just because some people think UUID aliases stick out a bit and look odd. To be honest the on…

Not really that I know of apart from this site[1]. Or you could just get a pay as you go sim card and use a cheap phone to read messages (or use dual SIM if your phone supports it)…
