What it does
altmails forwards messages from a temporary alias to an existing mailbox. It documents replies through the alias, deactivation and a one-active-alias limit.
altmails uses forwarding rather than a shared public inbox for its alias workflow. Choose an address, supply a destination and receive mail in the existing account. When the alias is no longer useful, deactivating it stops further forwarding.
The documented restriction is unusual: unlimited addresses can be created over time, but only one alias can be active at once. That makes it a narrower fit than a service intended to keep dozens of signup aliases live together. The site's one-time inbox route is a separate choice from ongoing alias forwarding.
Strengths
- The alias workflow forwards to an existing mailbox.
- Aliases can be deactivated and replies can use the alias address.
Watch out for
- Only one alias can be active at a time.
Best for
- People who need one temporary forwarding alias at a time
