24 alternatives to MailPhantom – Keeping your email address invisible
Been reading HN for some time now, but this would be my first post. https://mailphantom.com/ Copy and past from the site: ######### The use of unique password are considered best practice, why are we not doing this with email addresses as well. MailPhantom aims to achieve this, with an added benefit, you'll see which service providers or mailing lists are sharing your email addresses. ######### This is basically a MVP, and may likely break somewhere. But if there is a lot of interest I may build/work on it more. I have used it in its current state for a few months now. I…

HappyMail▲201Eight years ago, I was job hunting and felt embarrassed by my Gmail address. I tried registering firstname.lastname — taken everywhere. So I thought: "I'm in IT, I'll set up my own domain with my own IMAP/SMTP. How hard could it be?" A lot went wrong. Forgotten renewals. rocky DNS mistakes. I ended migrating toward Google Workspace, but in the end it felt overkill, having a subscription there plus the whole registrar subscription, and the whole GAFAM sticker on it. Moreover, the final price was way too high for me at the time. Six months ago, someone approached me and related to that…

What makes this site a bit more unique is that I wrote the email parser from scratch following the RFC (took me 2 months and tons of testing) so it should display all…

Hi HN! I've been thinking about how we use password generators to create a unique password for every login to increase security, but most of us use the same email address as the login identifier on every website and mailing list out there. It's a big privacy and security hole that isn't easily plugged (e.g. anyone who knows your email address has a starting point to start trying to get into your account, it's easy to track emails across websites etc.) To solve this I've created https://idbloc.co It’s a web app that lets you generate random, untraceable email addresses that forward…
