Hey all, sorry if this was posted before, but lemmy search is hot dogshit at the moment, so I cannot really find anything relating to this topic.

Recently, I have been upgrading my email privacy bit by bit, and am in need of an email aliasing service / forwarding service. I have been looking online for a couple options and I’m currently down to 3 :

  • Anonaddy
  • Simplelogin
  • Firefox Relay

Now, the main things I wish to know about each are, in your opinion, their pros and cons for a person with a pretty moderate-high threat model. Currently, these are the pros and cons that I have found :

  • Anonaddy (Lite Plan)
    • Pros
      • Cheap at $1/m (billed yearly)
      • Can use Custom Domains (catchall, wildcard, etc)
      • Stores failed deliveries (could be important if my mailbox is full or something)
      • Open-source
    • Cons
      • Only 50 aliases using shared domains (custom subdomain are easily identifiable)
      • Owned by 1 or 2 guys, so not guaranteed to last as long as a company would per se. Doesn’t matter much if I use a custom domain.
  • Simplelogin
    • Pros
      • Unlimited aliases using shared domains
      • Can use Custom Domains
      • Owned by Proton (this is a pro in the sense of a guarantee that it will last a good bit of time)
      • Open Source
    • Cons
      • Pricier at $2.5/m (billed yearly)
      • I do not use proton, so compatibility could be a downside.
  • Firefox Relay
    • Pros
      • Cheap at $1/m (billed yearly)
      • Unlimited aliases using shared domain
      • Owned by Mozilla (more than likely will last longer than Proton)
    • Cons
      • They use Amazon SES/AWS, though they have contract to protect customer information
      • No Custom Domains

I am currently leaning towards either Relay or Anonaddy because of their 2.5x cheaper price (which does add up $12/y vs $30/y), but am very curious as to which you prefer and why. I will not be using these services for anything important (bank, govt, insurance, etc) as those go through a custom domain strictly for those. Junk, random accounts which aren’t important, newsletters, … will go through the aliasing service.

Thank you in advance, if something wasn’t clear let me know.
