  • This is where I think the flaw is in your system. You wouldn’t necessarily want to give your friends evul-friends@foo.com. Because once you start getting spam to it, you can’t nuke the email, because more then one person has it.

    This is why one address per recipient or service makes the most sense. Not user defined, but completely random or maybe what the Fastmail automated emails do.

    I suggest doing some market research before building your product/service so you are designing something that has the best fit for your consumer, and I think Fastmail handles things better than your service would right now, based upon what you’ve shared.



  • I think Fastmail already handles this gracefully, and has all the right integrations. Why should I use your service over Fastmail?

    For example, the integration with Bitwarden can generate a new username for every site you go on.

    I think to an attacker, your naming allows for identification of the pattern.

    Also, 100% spam identification… nothing in the world is 100%. Unless you count the verification for someone to send you an email, which I don’t know if I consider spam identification.
