much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
The purpose of these kinds of aliases is to disassociate the human's email address from the service. Alias services like this aren't designed to enable multiple signups for a single service. Otherwise it would quickly be a tool abused by spammers, blocked by services, and useless for people.
I completely agree and I would like to add one more thing. The way simple login responded to this issue was very nice. They could have been a whole lot more aggressive about this.
I find it interesting that Proton's other alias solution doesn't even know what domain aliases are used for. That information shouldn't be necessary.
Paid or free?
SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain
I wonder if that's the case for custom domains as well.
It's trivial to figure out who is proxying your email, so I would assume yes.
If you have your own domain and need to create dozens of aliases for the same website, just self-host SimpleLogin.
Email is one of the services I will never self host.
I don't self-host my primary mail server either, but it's fine for my aliases (I use self-hosted addy.io but SimpleLogin can also be self-hosted). I use PGP to encrypt everything on my addy.io instance, and only decrypt it in my email client.
I do sometimes use it to create multiple accounts, but never more than two.
How did they find out???
Alias description? Inbox headers?
How many is "multiple times" may be useful information. Ball park numbers atleast?
I got it after make 5 aliases for 5 Reddit accounts.
Hmm ya that is a little lower limit than I expected on premium. Could hit that with normal throwaway acc use.
Would be nice if they allowed like 10 IMO but I guess they have to set the limit somewhere to stop spammers using the service.
Guess you could delete the older aliases as you stop using those throwaways and recycle the slot? Not a perfect solution, but 4 throwaways and 1 main at any given time isnt too shabby.
Now head over to Erin.email and make an account with every simple login alias you have ever made
