- Reply to emails anonymously without revealing your real address
- Multiple recipients per alias
What It Can't Do

Detailed Introduction
AnonAddy is an open-source anonymous email forwarding service. It creates unique alias addresses that forward emails to your real inbox, keeping your true email address hidden. You can reply anonymously without exposing your real address. Supports GPG/OpenPGP encryption for forwarded emails, custom domains, multiple recipients per alias, and browser/mobile extensions. It is fully self-hostable, with a free hosted tier available. Unlike similar services, AnonAddy is open-source and offers both encryption and multiple recipient capabilities. It is designed to prevent spam, prevent data breach correlation, and protect identity online.
Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingWhy are some legitimate emails not being forwarded through my AnonAddy alias?
To protect the server's reputation and prevent spam, AnonAddy rejects messages from mail servers that fail basic configuration checks, such as missing or invalid reverse DNS, non‐FQDN hostnames, or SPF/DMARC failures. Currently, there is no user-facing log of these incoming rejections and no built-in option to disable this filtering. If you are missing emails from a known sender, contact support with the sender's domain and relevant details to request a manual whitelist. Self-hosted users can modify their Postfix configuration to relax these checks, but this is not available on the shared service.
