I’d really like to use the service and in fact I wish I’d been using it forever. But I want to do it right and self host it. It’s just, maybe the most complicated thing I’ve ever seen.

Does it require self hosting your own email server as well? If you already own a domain, does that make the process easier?

is Anon Addy the only service like this? Also I’d love to integrate with bitwarden, so when I create a new account for some website, I can automatically create a new email address. (idk if there’s any reason to do this, just think it could be cool)

To piggyback further, I’ve been wondering if having my own domain would help me get around my double nat issue not allowing me to make reverse proxies.

Thanks in advance to the community!

    Have you tried self hosting it or know what goes into it? Do you know of any alternatives? The functionality I’m after is being able to use a different email address per service I sign up for and tracking that with bitwarden, then forwarding all emails to my main email.

      You can use a “+” symbol to make simple sub-aliases that all get sent to your normal email. If my email is me@domain.com any email sent to me+anything.example@domain.com will be sent to the inbox of me@domain.com but the email address is was sent to will be listed at me+anything.example@domain.com. Bitwarden can do this automatically when you generate a login.

      If your email alias is ever leaked or gets used for spam you can just block all emails going to that alias.

          Most of the spam mails I receive simply greet me by the exact part in front of the @. I think you are too confident in regards of „most“ spammer‘s capabilities.
