I do this but on my main domain. I have another domain and I guess I might to move spam catching exclusively to that domain. Anyway the trouble is writing mail to those services or replying to those. I have 13 from email usernames in my Mail.app right now on my domain. Then I stopped it. It’s just so tedious. I wish there was an app that would let me easily do it once I proved I’m the domain owner maybe - just let me…

You can do that in FastMail (web UI or mobile app). It supports multiple domains too. The compose view looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/qULeL5a

Oh. Undo tuna I’m on mailbox.org and I was looking for a mobile and desktop client rather than a provider. But yeah I’ll definitely consider them the next time I’m looking to move mail provider.

For what it’s worth, MailMate on mac allows for responding via the received address in just the way you describe. It’s a large part of why I ultimately landed on using it exclusively.

I’ll need it on mobile (iOS) more than on desktop.

Country limited... sight : "⁨Relay Premium⁩ is available in the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Ireland. " ( https://relay.firefox.com/faq )

Tried signing up for Relay Premium (from France), Stripe is telling me that "The currency of this subscription isn't valid for the country associated with your payment"...

Hi! I'm the Product Manager on Relay. I'm sorry about this! We've deployed a fix this morning. Let us know if you're still having this issue and we can help troubleshoot it further.

This looked interesting when I explored it, but the 150KB attachment size limit is too low. I also checked the GitHub issues list for this project and found some open issues with respect to attachment sizes lower than this not getting through (maybe because of inflation with encoding, which end users may not know about or can’t predict). The premium paid subscription is said to be only available in specific countries…

Hi! Product Manager on Relay here. Thank you for the feedback. We're actively working on upping the attachment limit as we know that is a major pain point. I hope that's something we can deliver to you shortly.

Please keep the great feedback coming :)

I just signed up and sent myself a test email. It took a couple of minutes but it came through with banners above and below the content. Pretty nice service however again I am afraid that one day the plug will be pulled and the email addresses will be orphaned.

Hi! I'm the Product Manager on Relay. Thank you for sharing your concerns, we absolutely understand this risk and the investment and trust it takes to sign up for a service like Firefox Relay. We're actively investing resourcing into our privacy and security products like VPN and Relay and hope to grow these services while providing more protections to more people. I hope that you can come along with us and try out Relay.

Word of advice for anybody doing this: make sure you have a way to SEND email using one of your aliased addresses - because one day you will find a critical service provider can't process your emailed attachments unless sent from your registered email address (e.g. insurance claim document, bank documents, etc.)

Thunderbird supports custom From: addresses in the mail compose window.

I've been through a mile of pain to finally end up back on Thunderbird, for exactly this use case.

This is what has finally ended my years of Microsoft Office use: Outlook will not let you keep your primary address out of smtp headers. No way, no how.

And make sure you can easily fetch new emails on demand! I had a Migadu-Gmail setup, but the Gmail app and mobile site only pulled from the POP3 server every 30 minutes or something. Which was fine until I had to verify my identity in-person at a Verizon store to cancel service and had to explain why I wouldn't be able to receive a verification email to verizon@mydomain for a while. Also annoying for my 401(k) which…

You can manually fetch emails from external accounts via the Gmail settings - Accounts. I'm not sure if this is available in the app but it's available on the (desktop) page. It's a hassle but there is a way in tight situations.

Mozilla, I want to give you money and subscribe, Yet you refuse with this ambiguit error: The currency of this subscription is not valid for the country associated with your payment. Try again

PM of relay posted a few comments up that they had delivered a fix 2h ago. Try again, it might work this time.

So this is anonaddy but with unlimited replies? Pretty cool! I just signed up for purelymail recently, I wish I had heard of this sooner, but it's better than never.

Is there any way to create aliases on the fly?

Something like creating a new alias automatically when an email is received?

I've been using Spamgourmet for over a decade for this functionality. I'm surprised it's not more popular here. https://spamgourmet.com

I think I've been using it for nearly 15 years. And I selfishly hope it never gets more popular since it's so obscure that it seems to fly under the radar of most blacklists despite its 20+ year history. I like how it keeps a count of all of the messages it's blackholed to a given address so you can see who pimped you like a used car if you use a unique address per signup.
