At least he didn't use Twitter for this threats.
I should check proton mail, self hosting is exhausting.
They don’t offer unlimited addresses for your own domain. And I kinda rely on that to route different registrations around. Don’t even need unlimited mailboxes, just the ability to use patterns and direct assignments to route mail to a few mailboxes.
If that was an option, I’d switch a week ago.
Would "plus" addressing work for you? https://proton.me/support/creating-aliases
They semi-recently bought Simple Login which you can provide with your own domain. That does allow you to create unlimited addresses and they'll all be forwarded to the inbox of your choice. Can also disable any addresses when you no longer want them.
Ah shit. I had hoped it would. Didn't yet read into the service.
They support catch-all addresses. So essentially any email @your.TLD will work. I use this and it works perfectly. Nowadays I also use the included simplelogin address if I don't want to disclose even my domain.
I haven't switched yet but I'm about to.
Proton seems to have a pretty powerful filtering system that you can program using a DSL: https://proton.me/support/sieve-advanced-custom-filters
From what I've gathered, you can simulate unlimited addresses for your domain by setting up a catch-all. To reply from a certain catch-all'd address, you need to create an address for that name.
I wonder if you could do that via API; creating and deleting the address just for the moment where you're sending the reply.
It's strange to me that they don't offer unlimited domains. I guess it's to discourage business users from using the cheap email plan intended for individuals? That one doesn't have user management, so that doesn't really make sense either.
