I ended up going with addy.io since their Lite plan is cheaper and offers what I’m currently looking for, but I’ll keep SimpleLogin in mind for whenever I need to upgrade.


I’ve heard of them before, good to know they support this. I’ll check out their plans, thanks!


I was aware of SimpleLogin but I hadn’t heard of this service before, thanks for the tip! I’ll try to check them out and come back with a comparison.


Thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately this approach doesn’t really work for me since my domain includes my real name, I’m also relying on email masking for some degree of anonymity.


Can email masking be “transparent”?
I've been trying out Firefox Relay for a couple of months, and I really like the idea of hiding my real email address. The only thing putting me off from this concept is the fact that it makes my experience significantly worse, as it's now harder to quickly understand where the email comes from. A simple example: if I give my real email address to an online shop, I will receive a confirmation email with ``` From: Online Shop ``` Which is trivial to read. If I give a generated Relay address, then the emails will come as ``` From: "noreply@onlineshop.com [via Relay]" ``` Which is much harder to parse off a quick glance, especially on smaller screens like a smartwatch. When receiving emails, I don't really care if they were forwarded via Relay, and I would much rather see the original sender in the From field. Is this necessary for proper privacy, or just an issue specific to Firefox Relay? And if so, is there any other email masking platform that supports what I'm looking for?
