    I’ve considered self hosting my mail, but if you self host your aliases are all recognisable because you are the only one using your domain name.

        It could work to deal with spammers, but I also want my pseudonymous accounts and my real name accounts to not be linkable, even by someone that actively tries to do so and somehow gets their hands on both my emails.

            The solution I think I’m going to use is to have mailbox.org with my custom domain name for my real address and use @mailbox.org random aliases for stuff I don’t want to keep my real email private from.

            I’m currently using Firefox relay but it is quite limited.

            I don’t see how downtime of a provider could lead to leaking my real email.
