Just discovered this cool project, thought i'd share it here.

AliasVault is an end-to-end encrypted password and alias manager that protects your privacy by creating alternative identities, passwords and email addresses for every website you use. Keeping your personal information private.

Link to website: https://www.aliasvault.net/

Link to source code (MIT Lisense): https://github.com/lanedirt/AliasVault

For those wondering how the alias feature works:

AliasVault includes a built-in email server that allows you to create unique email addresses (aliases) for different services. When someone sends an email to your alias, it's received directly in AliasVault, helping you maintain privacy and reduce spam.

Why should a scammer or spammer bother with a tech savy person. Scammers and spammers use E-Mail dumps from data leaks to spam and scam ppl. The first step is automated, way more profitable then to go spear fishing on a normal user.

I'm not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?

It is just not the way the usual scammer and spammers operate. Ofc there are other types of criminals that do operate differently but those do not get their Addresses from a data leak which E-Mail aliases pretect against
