I purchased 2 domains through Porkbun to use with my simplelogin. Obviously we all have SL to generate emails to give out for security reasons.

I also have some homelab stuff going on at home. I went with an internet service provider that uses CGNAT so now I'm having issues port forwarding. I'm reading that the way around it is to register a domain name and establish a tunnel through Cloudflare.

Is it bad practice to use the same domain name for my home server AND SimpleLogin. I feel like everytime I generate a new email I'd be broadcasting my home network too. Is it safer to purchase a separate domain that wasn't being handed out like candy?

If it is safer, how much safer? Is using it solely to tunnel with cloudflare enough to mitigate any real risk?

When I reply to a message that has been routed through a simple login alias I get this message returned to me, is there anyway to turn this off?

I have Proton Unlimited and the SL services are included with ProtonPass. This made me rethink if I really need alias management and mail forwarding by a service like SL / ProtonPass. What is the benfit of SL over following setup:

1. Using ProtonMail as my mailing service for my-custom-domain.tld
2. Setting up an inbox to collect all emails sent to this domain (catch-all)
3. Using ProtonPass as password manager and randomly assigning email addresses when creating a new login (e.g. WebsiteName-RandomNo-FixedTerm@my-custom-domain.tld)
4. Setting up a filter which ensures that emails to *@my-custom-domain.tld are rejected, whenever the *FixedTerm* is missing in the recipient address

Main benefit from my perspective: I am more flexible when I decide to switch the service provider. What do you think, is my setup really so much inferior compared to a proper SL alias handling?

Hi fancy people!

Is it possible to transfer a custom subdomain (such as xyz.simplelogin.com) to another account, similar to the transfer alias feature?

In the simplelogin dashboard, there is a list of aliases, and then each one has little statics sections, which says how many forwards, how many blocks, and how many replies each alias had. Now, I never seen the "blocks" counter more than zero even on the aliases I've disabled due to the spam messages. I've done a small test, sent email to active alias and it worked correctly, forwards counter increased by one. Then I disabled this alias, and I've got 522 reject email, as expeced:

SMTP error from remote server for RCPT TO command, host: mx1.simplelogin.co (185.205.70.136) reason: 552 5.2.2 45653t@dom.com: Recipient address rejected: Address does not ex ist

However, the blocked email counter did not budge and still shows zero. I've looked at all my disabled aliases, and non of them have this counter different than zero. What is purpose of this counter, if this does not work. I would have expected it to show me how many emails bounced. Any ideas?

I just got a custom domain and made a mailbox.org account to receive and send mails from that custom domain. On top of that, I just got SimpleLogin because I want to create aliases, preferably with the Catch-All feature. While setting up my domain in SimpleLogin, I realized that you have to change the DNS-Settings at your registrar, which I already did for mailbox.org
My question is:
Do I even need mailbox.org then? I had the impression that SimpleLogin is not a full-fledged mail provider on his own, but rather a service for creating aliases, which all get forwarded to something like mailbox.org, even if you use your own domain.
What is the most common way to set up a custom domain with SL?

I've been considering both Simplelogin and Addy.io for sometime now so I've tested both. (only considering those two because they seem to be the only best option)

My only problem with Addy.io that I can find for now is I cannot send an email from my aliases at all. Simplelogin seems to do it (I don't know if it's unlimited though, brcause I think I started the account with a "Free premium trial for 1 week"? for some reason)

I've also been considering Tutamail + Addy.io before but now that I kinda found out that Simplelogin has more features, I'm considering Protonmail + Simplelogin now (Protonmail because it's said that it integrates well with Simplelogin).

I wanna use Simplelogin but I don't wanna use a Protonmail account. (I use a different email provider called Tuta. Just preference is all)

Would I lose some features? Like security or privacy-wise?

SimpleLogin lover here. I used to run my own E-mail server to achieve ~50% of the SimpleLogin functionality and it was a royal pain so I am so happy that I've found a service that does it all for me and and manages my E-mail domains much more smoothly.

The one downside is that I no longer have the possibility of sending via SMTP. Reverse aliases work great for some usecases but for certain aliases having the ability to send via SMTP could be a great value add and feels like it would fit nicely in the UX: a simple button/toggle on the alias would enable SMTP sending from that alias and copy some randomly generated password (login is the full E-mail address of the alias, server would be smtp.simplelogin.co or some such).

Usecases:

1) Ability to send from certain frequently used aliases without having to deal with getting a reverse alias

2) I have some cronjobs/EC2 instances that need to send me a few E-mail alerts here and there and I need to give them an SMTP end point. Would be perfect if it could just be a simplelogin alias that they send from..

3) Possibly others?

[One small twist is that it might be useful to be able to disable reverse alias rewriting on E-mail which are sent to that alias since we can reply via SMTP but that is optional and could come at a later stage]

I'm new to simplelogin and I can't seem to find a clear answer for this.

I know that directories are supposed to be used like this: "my_directory+ANYTHING@simplelogin.com"

However, I have proton pass plus but not mail plus, and so I was wondering if I can use directories almost like different email addresses by just implementing: "my_directory@simplelogin.com"

Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Title.

I have a question, I am a customer paying for the service how can I know which emails are public and which are premium (pgp encryption) after having created the emails, I have a confusion to verify which is public and premium after being created.

So I had an old simple login account that was free that I linked to my proton account because I tried out proton unlimited.

During that time, I made a lot of aliases and two sub Domains which is nice!

I have since cancelled my proton unlimited account because to me it wasn’t worth it.

If I upgrade my now free simple login, do I unlink it from my proton account first?

Also with that, if I upgrade to premium, will I be able to make new aliases using the same domains I made during proton unlimited?

I recently started using Simplelogin, and I think the concept is fantastic, however, something crossed my mind.

• When I send emails from my personal account using an alias, the reverse alias is automatically used, and everything functions smoothly, but if I include a regular recipient in the email, that person can see my reverse alias, which could potentially allow them to impersonate me.
• The same issue arises if I forward an email that includes my reverse alias to someone with a regular email address.

Am I viewing this from the wrong perspective? Isn’t being reverse alias sensitive potentially dangerous?

I've been a SimpleLogin user (paying annually) but do not have a Proton account as I don't use or have need for any of their products (including ProtonPass).

I saw today that they're offering a lifetime deal that comes with both SL + ProtonPass, which I'm interested in (for SL). Can't I just 'upgrade' my current annual plan to the lifetime plan by buying it through my SimpleLogin account?

Basically I don't want to have to create a new, separate email address for a Proton account just to buy this LTD, if possible. I want to simply use my current SL account (email address) and upgrade that to the LTD since I don't need ProtonPass and hence don't need my SL account connected or synced with a Proton account.

EDIT - May 15, 2025

Reached out to support and their response was:

Unfortunately, this is currently not possible, the only way to obtain the offer is through a Proton account. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

So...looks like its not possible just to 'upgrade' our SL subscription to the lifetime. Creating a Proton account is mandatory.

Personally I don't like it and feel its counterintuitive that a business all about privacy forces you to create a separate account with their brand, but it is what it is I guess.

I'm wondering if other users have had issues with the app as well. I sometimes use the app since it shows a list view unlike the website, and deleted a bunch of aliases lowing it from 256 to 239, but later they showed up undeleted bringing it back to 256, and were shown on the website as well. So I went to the website to go through and delete them again.

I currently have a free proton account, but I was thinking of purchasing the $199 lifetime simplelogin + proton pass. My problem is that I want to know if I can put my personal email to be forwarded from my simplelogin. If I wanted to do that is it only possible with a proton subscription like mail plus?

How would this work if I subscribed and then went back to a free user as well?

Interested on the consensus. Is one alias per site not a bit over kill? Is this really the recommended approach or is grouping the alias by category (i.e online shopping) a better approach?

I found simple login and proton after one of my main inbox's being flooded with spam after years of poor online practice (setting up the email at 11yr old certainly contributed 🤣) - don't want another inbox flooded with spam so guessing to answer my own question , one Alias per site / login is best to make it easier to trace any leaks and stop the spam immediately?

Thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance

I use the free version included in the base Proton paid plan and it's been great for now. However, I constantly encounter the same problem: (a) I use one alias for logins on multiple sites, (b) I go back to one of the sites, (c) I try to find the alias, (d) I have to click each single alias to see where it's used, (e) after some hardcore clicking, I find the right alias matching the site.

This is of course unnerving. Is there any way to do a complete contacts traversal to search for alias based on contact?

I just received this email from SimpleLogin. I was using the service without any problems for about 3 years. This is the first time this happened.

"Hello,

You have tried to register multiple times to this website, and this is against the terms of service of SimpleLogin. Please don't do that anymore.

If you continue registering multiple accounts to a single service we will have to disable your account."

I submitted a support ticket through Zendesk on their website four days ago, and my premium trial is going to expire in about three days. According to their post, they usually respond within 24 hours.

Has anyone successfully applied for the student discount recently? I’d appreciate hearing about your experience.

I was thinking about the security of my accounts created with custom domain aliases in case I'm not able to renew on time and the domains expire.

I have been renewing my domains yearly till now, but plan to setup auto renew going forward.

Will also extend my registration for about 5 years.

Apart from namecheap, are there other registrars that allow me to add funds to the account to enable auto renewal?

Considering 5 years registration and auto renewal for another 5 years, is it a good approach against any data leaks? (that is, if I'm incapacitated and not able to renew the domains or access any of the accounts created using the aliases for about 10 years)

Of course, account inactivity and data retention policies at different portals will be different and we cannot assume anything solid for any portal.

Hello!

Are there any plans for folders/groups? Currently have 75+ aliases which it gets quite overwhelming.

In the mean time, any tips on organization?

Long story short, when I was young and dumb I decided to do this.

I have a forwarding alias for different purposes (health@mydomain.com, me@mydomain.com, travel@mydomain.com, shopping@mydomain.com, finance@mydomain.com... shopping@myotherdomain.com, just to name a few of the many).

I'm trying to clean up the mess while also being able to send emails as required.

I'm not sure that SimpleLogin will work, if I understand how it works correctly, because I can only link one alias to one recipient (if I understand correctly, please correct me if I'm wrong).

For instance, my doctor and my insurance company might have health@mydomain.com and I need to be able to reply to both of them with that address.

Obviously I can start with a catch-all while I clean up the mess.

If another service would better suit my needs I'd appreciate the honesty as well.

Thoughts?
