Comment on My Firewall was not putting out last night. So I could not get any pihole action.

I spin up a new address for everything so I did not get those ads at least.
This is the way. Silo all accounts. I use Firefox relay, and another service called BurnerMail. I can literally spin up unlimited email aliases. In fact, BurnerMail will allow you to specifically name the alias for the specific account. So, you could have reddit.5742@mailbeaver.net. Which is handy for filtering and directing emails to specific folders, including the trash can in your email client.

I use easyDNS and they have a wild card option for their email, so I have a formula whenever I am signing up for something my email addresses are always nameofservice_funSaskathchewanwordplusthreerandomnumbers@reannlegge.ca. When I started this I was on hosthero and they use cpannel with no wildcard options you have to go in and create the email address before you use it. When I left hosthero, because they cost to much and are not the friendliest company to deal with I had something approaching 300 unique email addresses after 4 or 5 years because I did just not bother closing them after I continued using the free trial of whatever or just stopped the forwarding to my main email address or whatever email it needed to be sorted into.
Now I just have everything automatically go into junk mail unless it is something I need than I make the effort to log into their easyMAIL web thingy and sort where it should go. I have it set to delete things that are a week old (I think it could be a month?) so if I do not need it I do not need to worry about it and it will just go away on its own other things are sorted into folders and very few things are sent to my inbox.
That’s not a name, that’s a sentence.
