The "why" of services like Apple's Hide my Email or disposable email address systems like Sneakemail or the homebrew systems that I described in my last message is to give you 'throwaway' addresses that you can hand out to sites that you don't trust with your real address. > Would it be like an alias?

I think it would function like an alias, in the sense that anything sent to one of the throwaways gets automatically forwarded to a real user's mailbox. Apple's Hide my Email (as I understand it) is integrated at the OS level: whenever you're prompted to provide an email address, you have the option to either auto-fill your real address, or autofill a newly-generated throwaway that consists of a random character string. Obviously, we can't get the same level of integration (unless Apple were to open up APIs for 'address providers'). You can however take the 'prefixed address' approach that I described in my earlier message and let users invent their own throwaways. That's relatively easy to do, because you just tell users that they can enter anything they like beginning with some prefix that is unique to them; the prefix, and the alias that routes mails using that prefix, is set up beforehand. Doing a truly random address like Apple's Hide my Email addresses is harder, because you need to generate the new address and then add it to your database as an alias. In essence, you'd need a web app that: 1. Let users log in (probably with their qmail credentials) 2. Generated a new disposable address on demand. 3. Recorded that new address as an alias for their real address It wouldn't be particularly hard to write, but it is more complex than a solution based on prefixed addresses.

Can you explain what features you'd like to see...maybe why. I don't have my mind around the "why" of it. Would it be like an alias? Would mail only be sent to the account? Would there be any credentials for logging in?

I have a domain that I use for this, so when I need a new address I just use an address in the format: myprefix-some...@mydomain.com On my old system, I had a .qmail-default file that piped any mail for that domain through a Perl script that I wrote. The Perl script was based on a library called MailAudit, which provided various mail processing tools. The script was a single file, but it let me do things like route addresses with different prefixes to different users, or compare the 'sometag' tag against instructions in the database that said how to process the message: accept it, delete it, mark it as spam, or accept it if the sender matched a particular pattern, delete it or flag it otherwise. MailAudit seems to be unmaintained now, so for my new server I went with a simpler approach. qmail lets you create .qmail files of the form: .qmail-myprefix-default which will handle mail addressed to: myprefix-myaddre...@mydomain.com myprefix-myaddre...@mydomain.com etc. In my case, I pipe the incoming mail through maildrop, but the maildrop rules I have currently don't do much more than routing and logging. When I get more time, I'll write tools to restore some of the conditional logic that I had in the previous system. You don't need maildrop, though: just assigning a prefix to each user who needs to be able to create throwaways and then setting up appropriate .qmail-[someprefix]-default files for each one would probably be sufficient. Note that '.qmail-myprefix-default' can be overridden. So if you had started using 'myprefix-myb...@mydomain.com', and a spammer got hold of that address, you'd just add a .qmail file named: .qmail-myprefix-mybank and route everything sent to that to Junk (and, of course, you'd update your profile with your bank so that they would send messages to 'myprefix-mybank2...@mydomain.com' instead).
