Auto-forward emails

Open DaAwesomeP opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

I'm looking for a replacement for MaskMe since it went downhill that I can run on my own server/domain, and this might be it. One of MaskMe's great features was having it forward you emails automatically and then giving you the option to "block" it and stop forwarding emails to you from that address. Thus, a bad website or spammer could be blocked while still keeping the convenience of using your own inbox.

@DaAwesomeP How is this relevant to mailsac?

This project works much in the same way that MaskMe did, which was to receive emails while disguising your address as something else that can easily be rid of should spam come it's way. MaskMe was different in that it forwarded the emails to the secure address. This is very valuable when using something real and probably trustworthy that you simply don't want to pass your address to, such as a blog, forum, or online survey where you are expecting frequent messages but want a consolidated inbox. I was wondering if mailsac could be configured in the same way, where received emails are forwarded to another address automatically.

@ruffrey I have seen that https://mailsac.com/pricing is doing Private addresses for forwarding, any idea to have this as paid plugin or somewhat OSS?

Hi, I would definitely consider a paid plugin, not sure about open sourcing it at this time but wouldn't keep it off the table forever.
