In their own words
EmailAlias.io
EmailAlias.io creates private forwarding aliases so services do not receive a user’s real email address. Mail forwards to an existing provider such as Gmail, Outlook, ProtonMail, Yahoo, or another inbox. Sender exposure scoring looks for risky domains, typosquatting, phishing keywords, and other leak signals, while machine-learning spam detection blocks phishing, malware, and unwanted mail before forwarding. The service says it does not read, analyze, or store forwarded message bodies or attachments and keeps delivery metadata; email metadata logs are retained for 90 days. Premium users can add up to five custom domains, send and reply from aliases, and use the REST API and MCP access. The Free plan includes 10 aliases. Premium costs $4 a month. Browser extensions support Chrome, Firefox, and Edge; no mobile apps are listed.
