Also, do you use disposable emails? What for?
I have a lot of emails made with simple login and I use the same one only for three websites. Then I get all emails forwarded to the same email, and an email for personal use (family, work, friends…) also forwarded to that one. So something like this:
o o o o personal

I use mailbox.org with my own domain and set up a catch-all so that all mails arrive in a single inbox. When I have to sign up somewhere I usually use their domain as the local part, e.g.
example.org@mydomain.tld. That way I can easily identify who fucked up and can simply block all mails with that recipient.simplelogin.io for all registrations, routed to any host you trust.
Emails will be encrypted to your pgp key by simplelogin before they are forwarded.
I have three domains with catchall. One personal, one thats not easily associated with me that is forwarded to my personal that I use for sites that don’t have to know who I am and one that is under a nick-name for FOSS stuff. The latter is only for special stuff and my own projects since I prefer to stay anonymous.
Plus I have a special webmaster box for all the sites I host. (They can be reached under different domains, but they all forward to an account@my personal domain)
Recently started using Anonaddy aliases + my old personal e-mail which it’s still used on more important sites and for personal emails. 😁
Oh, right, there is also outlook for school 🙄
Protonmail for personal, danwin for blogging and Outlook (ew) for school.
I use fastmail with several different domains associated.
I have a custom domain just for signing up to online services. For me, this domain is completely separate and I never use it for anything else. Like nachtigall, I use a naming scheme and a catch-all address. My naming scheme uses their domain plus a random bit like so,
twitter.6cruzbms@mydomain.tld.There are two main benefits to using such a scheme imo. First, it’s harder for data aggregators to collate and cross reference me across the web by using an email address. Second, it acts as a hacked canary and it’s easy to identify the source of suspicious or problematic emails.
The random characters are a pretty good idea to increase security too. Without that part it is easy to figure out what address I use for each service. With the random bits it adds another unknown factor that should make brute force attacks slightly harder. Gonna adopt that too, thanks for the idea!
I have an old gmail that I can’t quite get rid of yet, one company address for one of my jobs and one disroot that I use for everything else. I just added 3 accounts in Claws Mail and it gives a pretty good UX
i use gmail for spammy things that take up lots of space cuz it works with thunderbird. protonmail for important things (easy access w/o 2FA)
