MailPal

MailPal creates unique email aliases for sign-ups and forwards their messages to a real inbox. Aliases can be disabled manually or set to stop after an expiry date or a maximum number of forwards. Wildcard mode can create aliases automatically for new incoming addresses. One dashboard manages multiple domains, each with its own settings and default forwarding address; alias activity includes forwarded and blocked counts and a log. Notes, color tags, full-text search, and bulk actions help organize aliases. The app provides a REST API for alias, domain, tag, and destination operations, and its code is linked from a public GitHub repository. MailPal deploys its dashboard and email worker to Cloudflare using Pages, Workers, KV, and Email Routing. Setup requires a Cloudflare account, a domain added to Cloudflare, and Node.js 18+ or Bun with Wrangler CLI. The maker says email content is not stored, third parties do not access aliases or traffic, and the service uses no analytics or tracking. It is free forever with no monthly fees, running on the Cloudflare account’s free tier.
