Probably, but building all that takes far more effort than adding an alias. Or many.

No, it cannot know for sure whether the first email is spam.

Ansible is my config and documentation in one.

It's reproducible, idempotent and I don't need anything else.

I write all code myself, that makes it even easier to read.

Disability sucks hard

Society arguably sucks harder. Many disabled people (for various disabilities) live their lives happily and are mostly annoyed by the way society treats them.

In what jurisdiction?

Can you elaborate on the benefit of using a random string for your secret/true inbox?

Something obvious like "inbox@" or "hello@" would get a lot of spam, a random string does not receive spam as spammers usually do not send anything to my random string. :)

Is it so that if it’s ever compromised you can just spin up a new random string as your new inbox, point all your aliases to the new one, and burn the old one?

I doubt it'll ever get compromised, as I don't use this emailadress anywhere. It's just internal for my emailserver. I could also have it drop that all in a specific folder of my personal emailadress, but that's how I've set it up. Should I ever receive spam there, I'd set up a new random string and fix my aliases to point there.

But again, highly unlikely that this should become necessary.

Same question, how do the random characters after the company name benefit you? Is it so that if you want (or need) to continue using that particular service after a data leak, then at least you can update your profile to company_name-[different set of random characters]?

No, it's just so that I receive less spam. Imagine you use corp@example.com at a website, that gets leaked. Someone could have the idea, looking at this, that they could use this to find out where you have accounts by seeing whether emails get rejected from the mailserver or not and they could also just flood you more easily by just sending thousands of emails to every $companyname@example.com.

For a short while, I had it without, but this way I got some spam, which is solved now.

I'm pretty sure it was a general GrapheneOS room, but as said it's been a while, so idk.

At least asking the question did not seem wrong.

I've once enabled a catchall in addition just to test and got spam, then I turned it off again. Seems you got lucky. Overall if you use catchall and later run into spam issues, it gets much harder to get rid of it, as you cannot turn off the catchall if you don't even have a list of aliases to still let through.

WTF

Ltt.rs works quite well on Android. Even without a client I'd be glad to have it already, I'm ready when Thunderbird is ready.

Well, in my case I just add an alias to my mailserver each time. Your mail-eage may vary.

I don't want to use plus signs as that always let's anyone kow what the real address is.

I forward those emails to an address which is random. For example: udhxhdjeiwk@example.com

This address is never used anywhere. So I know all emails appearing there aren't spam but from the original sender.

Each alias looks like this: company_name-[eight random character/numbers]@example.com.

If I ever get spam, I simply delete my account at the company, as they had leaks (I often know way before Have I Been Pwned) and delete the alias. This way I have no spam (only on my personal address, which I hand out).

I also feel concerned about GrapheneOS. Here's why.

I got banned from the GrapheneOS Matrix chat simply for asking a question, it was worded similar to this:

"Hey there! GrapheneOS is cool. I noticed CalyxOS added support for eSIM, are you planning to add that as well?"

The post got deleted, I thought I had not sent it and posted it again. It was deleted again. I asked something along the lines of "Wait, where has my question regading eSIM support and doing the same as CalyxOS gone? Seems to have disappeared, lol".

THAT was also deleted.

Then I posted something along the lines of "Huh, my questions seem to be disappearing".

That was NOT deleted.

Then I asked something like "Anyway, are there plans to add eSIM support just like CalyxOS? :)".

That was ALSO deleted.

I got a private message from a mod saying I was banned.

That was alle the interaction I ever had with the GrapheneOS project. I might have started contributing, but I could not even ask a simple question. It seems that they don't like it if you mention any other custom ROM, I guess.

(This has been a while ago, so I don't remember my precise wording)
