Isnt anon addy the kind of thing that works best for not self-hosting? You’d need a domain, which is registered directly to you, so not anonymous, and youd end up getting all the spam emails sent to your mx server, so you would have to deal with that?

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.

I’m pretty sure most spammers know to strip the
+sign away at this point. I wouldn’t trust that to truly worksn0opy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
