What it does
spamgourmet provides self-expiring forwarding addresses. An address can include a word and a message count, allowing limited correspondence to reach a protected destination inbox.
spamgourmet limits how many messages an alias forwards. Its address format combines a new word, a count and a username; omitting the count allows three messages, and the maximum is 20. After the allowance is used, additional mail is consumed instead of reaching the destination.
The destination inbox must already exist and be confirmed. The homepage also posts a DANE-related notice about delivery to Proton Mail. This counted-address style suits a short exchange, while an account expected to send future recovery messages needs a deliberately chosen long-term address.
Strengths
- Message-count limits let an alias expire automatically.
- A protected destination address remains separate from the public alias.
Watch out for
- The homepage reports a DANE-related delivery issue involving Proton Mail.
Best for
- People who want aliases for a deliberately limited number of messages
