I’ve noticed that more and more websites/services are blocking email alias services. Is the only solution to continue being able to use aliases is to buy a domain and make email aliases with that or are there any other solutions?

    Get a cheap domain (~$10/yr) and setup a catch-all address - then you can use whatever@yourdomain.com without needing to create each alias beforehand, and each service gets a uniqe address that you can block if they leak it or start spamming you.

      Yeah I’m thinking this might be an option to use at some point. The main reason I use aliasing services now is because of inevitable data breaches that will leak my email and I don’t want to have to deal with that anymore. I might just have to make a secondary email that uses + aliases for situations that the alias generator service is blocked.
