I'm a bit skeptical on the Email alias feature but this is a really cool project.
I just don't know how practical it is to use custom domains to receive those confirmation emails.
Wouldn't you receive a ton of spam once your email domain leaks (which will eventually happen)?
Email is also useful for password reset.
I use a wildcard domain (with simplelogin which makes it easier to use). All the emails are sent to my normal email and it works great.
I have never heard of spammers spamming an entire domain like that. They are not human operated anyways.
I've been using a wildcard accept rule on my main domain, and every once in a while one of the made up addresses gets out of hand, I just go in and blackhole it on my email server. I then send a nasty email to the admin of whoever got hacked or sold the address (sending from another bullshit address), as I use unique addresses per signup and keep track of them in my password manager. It seems to have kept my inbox fairly clean since anything to those addresses goes into a side folder.
Been doing it for 20 years, seems like a good strategy so far.
+1 on wildcard addresses. Any 10 min mail site is also great for anything unimportant.
