For me, privacy is the most important aspect.

- don't train AI on my mails

- don't sell my data to advertisers.

- protect my data from overzealous law enforcement

Right now, I'm running my own mail server on a dedicated machine. I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. One feature i need is a configurable sub-adressing separator (not just "+").

After years of training my family to use "U-C@D" to help identify where spam is coming from (because there's still an astonishing number of sites that refuse '+' as a valid email character), I realised I'd trapped myself into (probably) having to provide the email server forever because I've yet to find a hosted alternative that provides configurable/additional subaddseps.

I run a service called Port87 that supports using the dash (-) for this purpose. I'm working on adding custom domain support.

I know what you mean about sites that don't accept it. Microsoft even has the gall to call it an "invalid address" when you use a plus.

Migadu has a feature called "Pattern Rewrites" which would allow creating a wildcard rule to automatically redirect mails to "U-*@D" into a "U@D" mailbox.

Do you have your own domain? I use email alias (eg [e-mail] ) with a single alias per site. I send all alias minus the 2-3 I care to a folder.

Great to see who is leaking your address.

General aliases are bad imho because it tends (in my experience) to attract spam... One way I get around that, is instead of aliasing @domain.com, I do [e-mail], so I use my emails when i subscribe [e-mail]

good balance for me...

I do but "a single alias per site" only works for one person domains, not a domain shared over a bunch of family members.

Exactly! Let me know if you manage to find one!

If you use postfix & dovecot, the setting that might help you is recipient_delimiter

That's what i use myself, but the problem starts if i wanted to migrate to a mail provider…
