It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

What is a good place to get multiple single-use email addresses? (lemmy.world)

Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I'm not comfortable with how much I use that.

The hosting provider is unnecessary.

You can point the domain to proton mail or whatever email service you like. Then you can configure a wildcard so that all email sent to any address at that domain can go to a central email.

Then you can filter it and use rules to move or delete automatically. Minimal setup required, and nothing to do to "create" a new email address.

Yeah, you can do it that way. I mentioned the hosting in the case that they’d like to use mailboxes created on the hosting account rather than FastMail/Proton/etc.
