Anonymous Email Forwarding
Protect your real email address using email aliases
How Does It Work?
1. Register Your Username
Let's say your username is johndoe. You can now use
*@johndoe.anonaddy.com (or .me) as your email. Where * denotes any valid local part for an email
address.
If you would like to remain anonymous choose a username that is not
linked to your real name or identity and that you haven't used anywhere else.
You can also create aliases at shared domains if you are concerned
about others linking alias ownership to you.
2. Create Aliases
Either on the fly or generated beforehand. Next time
you are signing up to a website or newsletter, simply make up a new alias and enter that
instead of your real email address.
For example, if you are on vuejs.org and you want to sign up to
their newsletter you could simply enter vuejs@johndoe.anonaddy.com (or .me).
We'll automatically create the alias in your dashboard as soon as
it receives its first email. You can reply to emails and send from aliases anonymously too!
3. Manage Aliases
Let's say a spammer gets hold of one of your aliases and starts
sending unsolicited email to it. You can simply toggle a switch in your dashboard and deactivate
that alias.
Our system will then silently discard any further emails and
you won't be forwarded anything else for that alias.
You can also delete the alias. Then our system will reject any
emails and respond with an error.

Features You'll Love
Mobile Apps
Beautiful native mobile apps with a buttery smooth user experience to manage your account on the go.
Completely free to use whether you are using addy.io or your own self-hosted instance.
The mobile apps are availalbe on iOS and Android and are both open-source!
Browser Extension

Vivaldi.
GPG/OpenPGP Encryption
Bring your own GPG/OpenPGP public keys and add them per recipient.
You can then easily toggle encryption on and off. With encryption on, all
forwarded messages will be encrypted with your public key. Only you will be able to decrypt them
with the corresponding private key. You can even hide and encrypt the email subject!
This is great if you are using Gmail or Outlook and wish to prevent any
inbox snooping.
Custom Domains
If you have your own domain you can add it and use it exactly
like your username subdomain aliases e.g. alias@example.com.
You can also enable or disable the catch-all functionality
for each of your domains.
Don't want to enable catch-all? You can still create aliases on-the-fly by matching a regular expression!
You can then manage your aliases and deactivate/delete any that
start receiving spam!
Blend Into The Crowd
If you don't like the fact that all your aliases contain your
username then you can generate random unique aliases from your dashboard.
The generated aliases will look something like this
x481n904@anonaddy.me or circus.waltz449@anonaddy.me
This prevents anyone linking ownership of the alias to you.
Reply To And Send From Aliases
Reply anonymously to forwarded emails, the sender will
receive the email as if it has come from the alias.
You can even initiate an email conversation by sending an email
from one of your aliases.
Your real email address is not revealed when replying or
sending from an alias.
Add Additional Usernames
You can add additional usernames to your account and use them exactly
like the one you signed up with.
So if you signed up as johndoe you can add johnsmith as an additional
username and then use anyalias@johnsmith.anonaddy.com too.
This can be used to compartmentalise your aliases. You could have a
username for work emails a different one for personal emails etc.
Multiple Recipients Per Alias
If you'd like an alias to go to more than one recipient you can
easily add multiple recipients from your dashboard.
You can even add recipients to an alias as it is created by doing
alias+2.3.4@user.anonaddy.com
Where 2,3 and 4 are the keys for existing recipients in your
account.
API Access
Manage your aliases, recipients, domains and additional usernames
using the addy.io API.
In order to use the API you first need to generate an API Key in your account settings.
