Spec score 7.5 #18 of 23 in Email Alias Services

What it is

GhostRelay is a web service that creates email aliases and forwards their messages to a real inbox. Users can make random or custom aliases, monitor them, and disable or delete them from a dashboard. The free plan costs nothing, requires no credit card, and allows up to 20 aliases with unlimited forwarding, custom names, and enable or disable controls. Forwarded messages preserve the Reply-To header, and the service supports replying from an alias. Mail can be sent to any receiving address, including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, ProtonMail, and iCloud. Disabled aliases reject incoming messages and return a bounce to the sender. GhostRelay says email is processed in memory without disk or database storage and content is not retained. It describes TLS 1.3, AES-256, bcrypt hashing, and signed JWT authentication. Custom domains and a browser extension are available; mobile apps and a public API are not.
