    Yes, it’s very useful.

    I have my own domain, which I use with a service called AnonAddy. It allows me to generate unlimited unique emails on-the-go, which I can then toggle off if spam starts coming in.

    I use a unique email for every single service I sign up to.

    Now, you are able to do this without a custom domain, but then you are putting all your eggs in one basket, and if the domain(s) you used for signing up, suddenly aren’t being renewed, you will lose access.

    Thats why I have my own domain for this. If AnonAddy goes out of business, I can just take my domain, and all my aliases, to another service, such as SimpleLogin for example.

      Can I also send mail from that address if I need to? I have a similar set-up with an catch all on Google workspace but sometimes I also need to write a from that address. Eg to get support from that service I used the address for.
