I’ve noticed more and more things that require an email signup to be able to detect when an email is from a temp service. I’ve been using Smailpro.com for years now but it seems companies are wising up to proxy emails like those. With email being as important to identity as a phone number or address nowadays, I only use proxies unless it’s something I deem important enough to use my real email for.
Anyone out there experienced with temp emails? Are there services that can still get through company filters?
It is a valid approach and good idea. But also ppl who do it should know… it ties all the accounts together through a domain no one else uses. With a privacy mail provider there could be millions of others on the domain. With a prvate domain, not so much. It’s one more piece of data that helps identity brokers deduce that account A on site A is the same person as account B on site B.
Some might not care about it. Or, they might. Threat models etc.
A way to create some mitigation of this issue can be done using a service like Njalla or Porkbun where you can make the account annonomously and pay in xmr. Sure, all the bullshit signups are still tied to a single domain but that domain isn’t tied to anything.
