I didn’t try Proton’s solution, but free Relay was blocked at some services I tried to use it. It was so weirdly specific since no one really knows about them, so I guess some web admins has enough time on their hands to create a whitelist of all mail services they support, and moz.com wasn’t there.
Why would I switch from Firefox relay that gives unlimited aliases at 1/4 of the price?

I just had a company refuse to send to mozmail.com, thought they managed to charge the credit card just fine and the email address didn’t throw an error on sign up. Figured it out on phone with support so they have a record of exactly why they lost that sale worth a few thousand dollars. I’d like to think they’ll learn but more likely the only lesson learned was me re: shopping there.

There are github repositories where people curate a list of domains providing temporary emails or email aliases and admins can just point to the maintained list to block.
In the ~20 I’ve created so far I’ve had 2 services that wouldn’t accept simple login. For those I’ve used proton mail’s built in email alias service where you get 15 aliases with their proper domain.

You dont have to switch but if someone is paying for Proton than they can utilize it for no extra charge

Ooh so if you are already a Proton Other Things subscriber you get the unlimited alias version for free? Because that’s an excellent reason.
They shiuld make that more clear in the pricing page.
Thanks!

Yeah I wish they advertised that because it’s an excellent deal. I don’t know if the free Simplelogin Premium applies to all levels of subscription plans but Unlimited for sure has it. Been using it and it’s amazing.
