aimple login is a blessing
I use https://10minutemail.com/
If it's blocked and I don't care enough use my normal email, the site isn't worth it imo.
I use Firefox Relay (@mozmail.com) and so far I've been able to use it everywhere I wanted to.
Don't you have to pay for the premium to get more than a few redirects?
What do you mean , you get 5 free rekat addresses, you can use it, however many times don't you*?
No it's 5 free emails rerouted, you have to subscribe after that which is why I bailed. If I misunderstood that I'll have to look at them again.
Okay what I do is I use one email id for multiple crap things , so that way one type of crap comes only via one email id
Sure, I may have been confused when I started doing it then, unless I'm misremembering I tried to have it send to the same Firefox alias and it said I only had 3 left after the 2nd email.
You do. I roughly pay $1/month.
How about duckduckgo's email alias service? It allows you to send and receive without exposing your actual email.
What might be a deal-breaker is that you can only reply to others' emails, others must send something to the @duck.com address first
You don't need to wait.
The format is address_at_provider.com_id@duck.com for sending emails.
oh you're right lol, thanks
The absolute best way costs a small amount of money.
First get a hosting plan. DreamHost has the “Shared Unlimited” plan for $13/mo. (Cheaper the first year, and cheaper if you pay for 1yr. or 3yrs.).
Next get a domain name. I recommend NameCheap. This costs like $14/yr. Most (but not all) domains have free anonymized registration.
You can then either use the mailbox space on your hosting or create forwarders to something like FastMail or Proton. Just make a new something@example.com address each time you need one. Blackhole it if it gets too much spam.
The hosting provider is unnecessary.
You can point the domain to proton mail or whatever email service you like. Then you can configure a wildcard so that all email sent to any address at that domain can go to a central email.
Then you can filter it and use rules to move or delete automatically. Minimal setup required, and nothing to do to "create" a new email address.
Yeah, you can do it that way. I mentioned the hosting in the case that they’d like to use mailboxes created on the hosting account rather than FastMail/Proton/etc.
And if that's too many steps, Fastmail already has the ability to create masked emails!
I like Addy as it allows to create mail aliases which relay to your real mail. So you cen delete the alias as soon as it gets spammed.
If the free tier of the website is to restrictive for your uses, Addy is hosted by other FOSS supporting platforms and their limits vary.
Here's another just in case, maildrop.cc
mailinator.com was one of the originals, still seems to be working
Spamgourmet
I use StartMail, useful for both one-time emails and aliased emails that stick around.
I just created a junk Gmail account that I use for everything that I don't care about and never login into. Why does it matter "how much you use it"?
I use Firefox Relay, the premium version is 12€/year and it's easy to set up and use.
They have plans to offer phone number protection too in the future, I'm on the waitlist.
