Github dislikes email "aliases" so much that they will shadow ban your otherwise normal activities for months, and once flagged, support will request not only a "valid" email domain but also that you remove the "alias" email from the account completely.

What do you mean by email aliases?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (12 children)

Basically another email address that forwards everything to your main email.

How would they even detect that? Blacklist common alias providers?

I dont think so. I get my self hosted aliases banned. They must read the dkim/spf/dmarc or other types of headers against a base of mainstream email providers

Wouldn't that ban self hosted email period?

Depends on what header they read and how
