Do I need an alias email service? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/70471346

I started looking into email alias services like SimpleLogin, Addy, etc. and I'm wondering if I really need it. Here's why:

My email provider has domain alias functionality. I can connect multiple domains to it. Let's say I'm ratm@domain1.com.

I can buy domain2.com and create an email address called anon@domain2.com. All emails (to both addresses) will land in the same inbox.

I can also create a catch-all email address so that I can create login unique emails for each service, like: lemmy@domain2.com, mastodon@domain2.com, etc.

So I guess my question is: What do I get from an email alias service that I'm not already getting from my email provider?

Is it maybe that I won't be able to reply from the service emails? Like, would I not be able to reply from lemmy@domain2.com since it's only a catch-all? So I can receive mail to it, but can't send from it?

Would a faulty implementation be only if you did it manually? In other words, if I just go through the motions of turning on the VPN, theoretically there should be no leak right?

Recently came across articles and videos of women who are actively fighting to lose their right to vote (they only want their husbands to), so yeah, this tracks.

That that's why Sam Altman (who's gay) is pushing AI so hard. He's trying to get pregnant. Illuminati confirmed.

Whatever, give us Japanese public transport infrastructure instead. Specifically trains.
