Aliasing being blocked (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I’ve noticed that more and more websites/services are blocking email alias services. Is the only solution to continue being able to use aliases is to buy a domain and make email aliases with that or are there any other solutions?

[email protected] not work anymore?

I have my own domain for emails, but he'll if I'm giving that email to any company that isn't financial stuff for my house. Ya know...actual important things.

For everything else, I always do [email protected]

Yeah I’m thinking this might be an option to use at some point. The main reason I use aliasing services now is because of inevitable data breaches that will leak my email and I don’t want to have to deal with that anymore. I might just have to make a secondary email that uses + aliases for situations that the alias generator service is blocked.

Get a cheap domain (~$10/yr) and setup a catch-all address - then you can use [email protected] without needing to create each alias beforehand, and each service gets a uniqe address that you can block if they leak it or start spamming you.
