This is great! Props for getting it polished and putting it out there. Also I was really pleased to open the GitHub repo and immediately recognise it as a Laravel app! :D so I’m looking forward even more to giving this a good go
I want a service like this for credit card numbers.
Hi all, creator here. I've been working on AnonAddy (short for anonymous email address) for the past few months with the vision of creating a privacy friendly, transparent and easy to use email forwarding service. The web app is built using Laravel, Vue.js and Tailwind CSS. Source code is available on GitHub[1], also mirrored on Gitlab[2]. The server is running Postfix, MariaDB, Nginx and Redis. I know that there are…
Just a small tip - nobody outside of developers are going to know what UUID means. Maybe have a (?) hover explainer for that line on the landing page, with an example UUID-based email address, like you provided here.
Awesome idea! I've been doing this exact same thing since march this year with my own domain using MailGun (Free) and custom forwarding rules. Really amazing to see someone turn it into a product that can easily be set-up by the general folk. (And for a nice price!). Loved your UUID-alias idea. May I ask however, how do you expect to handle a blacklist of your domains? I've had trouble in the past signing up to some…
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 only true solution to that problem is to use your own domain. I will be adding more generic domains to use in the future so hopefully will be able to evade the majority of these blacklists.

It is quite likely that you're going to end up in a game of whack-a-mole with abuse issues, and that's going to be your primary fight. The moment somebody abuses the system, your IP gets RBL'd or DNSBL'd and it's game over until it's fixed. It's a cool product that has a lot of great legit…
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 place for the server. Thank you, hopefully I'll be able to stay sane!
It took several months or a large payment to the people maintaining the blacklist for my server to get unblocked (it wasnt critical so I didnt pay). Seemed like extortion to me, but Google and others respected this particular blacklist.
Im not sure if this list still exists. It was on the blacklist checking websites at the time

My mail server got blacklisted because of backscatter. That is where the sender sends spam to an address that doesn't exist on your server, but they also forge the "from" address, so the "this message could not be delivered" response, complete with the spam message, is sent "back" to the forged address (the spammers real target) It took several months or a large payment to the people maintaining the blacklist for my…

Hey mate, it looks polished. I hope it gets traction. As my way to help you, I'll feature it on SaaSHub ( https://www.saashub.com ). If you get it verified, I can promote it on the tribune as well. Good luck!
Could you please stop posting links to your company? You've been overdoing it, which is why your comments are getting downvoted and flagged.
"Anonymous email forwarding" is probably a bad way to describe this service, since it is likely to make many people think (as it made me think) "isn't this just a more efficient tool for sending spam?". What this really is is an easy way of setting up email aliases . I think that should be the tag line.
