Nice! I also plan to add random word aliases soon e.g. yellow.biker57@anonaddy.me etc. just because some people think UUID aliases stick out a bit and look odd.

To be honest the only true solution to that problem is to use your own domain. I will be adding more generic domains to use in the future so hopefully will be able to evade the majority of these blacklists.

A friend of mine was considering building an anonymous forwarding service and ran into this same question. He also considered allowing custom domains, but if a custom domain is used, is it really anonymous? Couldn't services coordinate to realize that all email addresses under whatever.com are owned by the same person?

Yes that's true you could be linked if using a custom domain and someone can determine that nobody else is sharing that domain with you.

That's why I added the additional username feature to compartmentalise aliases and also the UUID aliases.

The UUID aliases all share the same domain e.g anonaddy.me so it is not possible to link ownership of these to any particular user.

Do you support sending to email address with raw IP address or .onion domain as the domain part? Eg:

  test@192.0.2.4
  test@[2001:0DB8::0004] # or possibly
  test@2001.0DB8..0004
  test@l5satjgud6gucryazcyvyvhuxhr74u6ygigiuyixe3a6ysis67ororad.onion

Not at the moment I'm afraid. It would be cool to set up an .onion address, I'll have to look into this.
