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?

    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.

      If you are willing to have all your accounts linkable by the signup email, you dont need a temp or relay email service at all. Just sign up for a single random email address somewhere that lets you do it anonymously.

      I am happy with addy.io and havnt had any issues. You could maintain a few providers - throw in ddg and mozillas services - so you can try from lots of domains I guess.

        Yeah if you read my original comment the catchall is for that small amount of signups that blocks Addy and SimpleLogin.
