SimpleLogin (manage email aliases and dynamically reply as the alias!)

@marcusquinn BTW Vaultwarden has similar functionality - though more suitable if you want to use an alias for a login: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7144/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden
@necrevistonnezr Good spot, I forgot about that. Seems you can't update the Simple Login URL with it though. You can with AnonAddy, so maybe this will work as a solution:
Say doing something like this:
-
I just stumbled upon Simple Login and addy.io
it seems both offer a self-hosted option, and it would be BRILLIANT for rising your own security. That's exactly why i use Vaultwarden, and not Bitwarden. The addition of a browser plugin like Mozilla's Relay is very amazing too, since it helps non-techies to use this feature with ease.
Why isn't such a thing higher on the list?

IMHO it's essential for a service like this to be self-hosted on one's own domain. Otherwise, you're locked into the providers email domains(s) for ever, unless you want to lose the relay.

@marcusquinn Isn't this service similar to using a VPN where in case of anonymity, the bigger the user pool, the harder it is for you to get profiled/tracked? Like, if I were to set up my own domain and it's just a handful of people using it, say my family and myself, then we're still being profiled pretty easily compared to having X people using Addy's domains. Right?

@humptydumpty True, that does make a case for disappearing into someone else's crowd!
Obviously, with the loss of receivability if ever one stopped paying the 2rd-party.

@humptydumpty
Well, I wouldn't use such a server to be "untraceable" I just hate giving out my real mail address for every shity script I want to download just to take a look at it. Unfortunately, on more and more websites I run into troubles with using trash mails since those domains get blocked for registrations.Running such a service on your own trash domain ensures that it's very unlike the domain got blocked for registrations

@RazielKanos that’s what I use my gmail for
I use Proton mail for the more serious stuff. It would be nice to have an app/service to unify all this though even if anonymity isn’t possible. I’ve been using the wildcard feature in Cloudron mail for my work and personal bills. I found out that FedEx was hacked since I started receiving spam to that address. Any announcements from FedEx about that compromise? Nope! lol. -
One of the mods can update the OP, I can't edit it any longer.
