Put Every Relationship in Its Own Channel
Once you give a website your real email, it is hard to know whether it has been shared or exposed. An email alias adds a routing layer between external services and your main inbox: use one address per service, then disable only the affected alias when unwanted marketing appears.
Identify the Source
Assign a different alias to each use case so you can quickly trace the source when suspicious messages appear.
Pause One Address
Leave other accounts untouched—pause only the address generating unwanted noise.
Stay Reachable
Ideal for password resets, order updates, and ongoing subscriptions.
Sign In, Then Complete Routing in Three Steps
- Verify your real email: Switch on “Permanent Forwarding” from the homepage and receive a 6-digit code; resend requests require a 60-second wait.
- Create a meaningful alias: Label aliases by shopping, projects, or newsletters, with up to 100 per account.
- Manage delivery routes: Pause or delete aliases, or adjust sender rules whenever needed.
Login sessions last up to 7 days. Sign out after using a public device, and never share your verification code with anyone.
What the Dashboard Provides
| Alias Status | Create, pause, or delete aliases; paused aliases stop forwarding new messages. |
|---|---|
| Message Log | Review forwarding results from the past 30 days to confirm delivery and troubleshoot issues. |
| Sender Rules | Block senders with a blacklist or allow specified sources with a whitelist. |
| Failure Log | Identify problems from a single source; original messages are not guaranteed to be available for retransmission. |
Attachments Are Handled by Total Message Size
Messages up to 50MB are forwarded and their attachments remain in the 30-day archive; messages from 50–100MB are still forwarded, but attachments are not archived; messages over 100MB are rejected. Save a separate copy of important files in your real inbox.
When to Choose a Different Route
For a One-Time Verification
No registration required. Messages last 3 hours by default, up to 24 hours, making this ideal for previews or a one-time download.
Use a temporary email →When You’ll Need to Receive Mail Again
Use a forwarding alias for orders, communities, software licenses, and password recovery.
Open forwarding →An alias can hide your real email, but it does not hide payment details, your IP address, browser fingerprint, or identity information you submit yourself.
- Do not use the same alias for multiple unrelated services.
- Enable two-factor authentication and save recovery codes for high-value accounts.
- Check for unusual senders each month and disable channels you no longer need.
Alias naming and lifecycle
More aliases isn’t better — what matters is telling at a glance who each address was given to. Four practices keep the 100-alias quota sufficient:
- Name by service: news-nytimes, shop-uniqlo — when spam arrives you can locate the leak instantly.
- One site, one alias: never share an alias between two services, or pausing one will break the other.
- Pause on leak: when an alias starts receiving odd mail, pause it and watch; no need to delete right away.
- Delete when unsubscribe fails: for senders whose unsubscribe links don’t work, deleting the alias beats blacklisting.
A deleted alias stops working immediately and cannot be recovered; mail to it is rejected. Rebind the target website to another address before deleting.
