"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.

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.
Do you support sending to email address with raw IP address or .onion domain as the domain part? Eg: test@192.0.2.4 test@[2001:0DB8::0004] # or possibly test@2001.0DB8..0004 test@l5satjgud6gucryazcyvyvhuxhr74u6ygigiuyixe3a6ysis67ororad.onion

Which will all be blacklisted as will the subnets within which your IPs sit and then your hosting provider or ISP will terminate service.
I know this is kind of a disparaging comment, but I would really like to hear their response to it. There have been numerous good services similar to them in the past and all have been placed on spam listings and blocked by most major services. Mixnet solutions have worked for over 30 years, they aren't particularly novel, what is novel is having an email service that allows reasonable privacy whilst not ending up on…
All forwarding addresses (recipients) on the site must be verified in order to receive forwarded emails.
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…
Surely against MailGun TOS?
You can then catch all for your domain and redirect to your inbox (or blacklist as needed and such).
It's literally a feature they provide.

Could you please stop posting links to your company? You've been overdoing it, which is why your comments are getting downvoted and flagged.
OK. You are right. I understand that I might have been overdoing it. Bth, it's just the easiest way to contact the OP. I will try using different channels.

> Unfortunately, mail delivery is far, far harder than it should be. However, we still receive spam e-mails to our inboxes.
According to a friend at a large ISP who engineers their anti-SPAM, 93% of all email they receive is SPAM and dropped before routing to your junk folder. So for each 1 you receive, several dozen were sent to the bit bucket.

Yeah but only geeks like us know about alias files
I didn't mean email alias files. The article explains what it means by "email aliases", and it's something different.

I meant the files that contain aliases which are used to configure MTAs, which thus create email aliases.

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 really doesn't take much at all to get blacklisted by Gmail or others. Companies like MailChimp have agreements in place with Google. Unfortunately, mail delivery is far, far harder than it should be.
