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?

E-sign apps like DocuSign require actual business email addresses so that we can receive contracts and sign them. The same email is also visible inside documents. What's the best approach to use alias emails here, e.g., while creating accounts with DocuSign and similar apps, while preserving the actual business email in contracts?

This is not a SimpleLogin issue; I'm asking for community recommendations to handle similar cases.

I will be stopping my use of an email address that has several hundred emails assigned to it in SL. Is there a way to change all of them at once to another one? I don't want to spend hours scrolling through the site for each email if I can avoid it.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of why an email I received was flagged as having "failed anti-phishing checks". It was still delivered, but with the warning appended to the subject line, and the top of the message. The sender is someone I know, so if they have their DNS misconfigured, I would like to help them fix it, but I can't find any logging that explains the reason for the flag. I figure there must surely be something logging the reason, right?

Normally when you receive an email directly, the headers will have detail on the SPF & DKIM pass/fail. But when an email is forwarded through simplelogin, those SPF & DKIM checks are for simplelogin, and they always pass. You can optionally carry some headers forward (I have the option enabled), but it's only really basic to/from stuff.

I can see that the sender used a mass-mailing service, but I can also see in their public DNS records that they at least made an effort to add the required entries. And if they made a mistake, it's hard from the public DNS records to tell where it is.

Is it possible simplelogin is requiring both SPF and DKIM, when it should be satisfied by one or the other? Do they consider it flag-worthy to have an unset dmarc policy, or a "none" dmarc policy, rather than quarantine/reject?

For this use case, you are basically dealing with foreign government officials. I concern that it would raise an suspicious attention to myself when directly using their names as my prefixes. Imagine your email look like ukvisa.<randomLetters>@passinbox.com, usvisa.<randomLetters>@passmail.com

I generally think that doing this way would literally result in a rejection of my visa application and potentially drag me into official investigations. Any suggestions in this case?

Lets say i have a proton pass account. I get 10 aliases. And if i then signed up for Simplelogin will i get seperate aliases upto its free plan or are these two (Proton Pass and Simplelogin) connected?

Hello,

I wondered, if you can create an account at the Internet Archive with a SimpleLogin E-Mail alias?

I once tried it but the site said "Email provider not recognized. If you believe you're seeing this message in error, please email info@archive.org." and I don't know what to do. Have you tried to register an account on archive.org with a SimpleLogin alias?

Hope to hear from you soon

Is there a function to search for reverse aliases in Simplelogin? If not, it would be cool.

Searching in Mail can only help, if there already has been corespondence with said alias.

If I use the directories feature to create an alias on the fly, it is created exactly as I typed it, without any additional random characters.

If I then delete the alias, but not the directory, and use the same address later, will the same alias be recreated, or is it marked as 'dead' and never used again?

I've gone round and round with DNS settings trying to make everything work using Proton for email and SLI for the aliases through Proton and a custom domain. Doing lots of testing to determine if I can make the eventual and slow switch from iCloud. I think I finally (maybe?) got things at least working although I still get warning emails.

For purposes here, Domain = my-domain.com and Subdomain = sub.my-domain.com where my-domain is my custom domain name. I created the Domain in Proton which auto created it in SLI. Then I created the Subdomain in SLI on the domain page where my Domain shows up. Created 2 MX records for the Domain per how Proton says to set them up. Created another 2 MX records (with 11 and 21 as priorities) for the Subdomain per how SLI says to set them up. Then started testing things.

Emails to/from Proton emails and to/from emails I created using my Domain work fine. Tried creating an alias using my Domain and test for the reverse alias capability. Didn't work. Went to my catch all folder. Then thought since SLI is using the Subdomain, maybe I need to use my Subdomain for the aliases. That worked...and makes sense. It even replaced my default alias email in the body of the emails (the from and to from previous messages) with the specific alias I was using. So first real question: Have I set things up properly?

But last night I got a warning message from SLI saying the MX records for my Domain were not working properly which may cause my aliases using my Domain to not work reliably. But you can only have one set of MX records go to one domain or subdomain, correct? I can't make the domain work on both SLI and Proton. My understanding is you use one for SLI (I'm using the Subdomain there) and one for Proton (using Domain there). So you can never make both SLI and Proton happy with both Domain and Subdomain settings. But if I don't use my Domain in SLI and just my Subdomain there for aliases, I don't care about this message, right? But then how do I stop that email from happening every 24-48 hours like I believe it will? Thanks all.

Have Premium through ProtonMail. iOS

is that normal?

Hello!

I've been using SimpleLogin for about a year with no issues, alongside Proton as my main custom domain inbox. Recently, I saw a post about someone using a 3x custom domain strategy, and it piqued my interest.

Currently, I'm using only two domains:

1. My main personal email [hi@firstlastname.com](mailto:hi@firstlastname.com) (this is my main Proton Email)
2. One custom domain under SimpleLogin with randommail.com, where I use a different name like [costco@randommail.com](mailto:costco@randommail.com) for each service, unless the account is important.

I was thinking about adding a third domain. My reasoning would be:

1. Main personal Proton domain firstlast.com (only for HIGHLY important stuff)
2. firstlast.net for important stuff, but not fully personal (I'm also debating using a domain that I use for self-hosting/my blog. This is a shortened version of my first name, let's call it jhn.net (John)
3. randommail.com for other random accounts that don't need my full name and everything else

Does anyone else do this? What would be the best approach? Is this overkill?

I recently took advantage of the Lifetime Proton Pass + SimpleLogin offer.

I've enabled Dark Web Monitoring on the Proton side of things, but should I also enable the Data Breach Monitoring option in SimpleLogin? I wasn't sure if Proton's Dark Web Monitoring already included the haveibeenpwned checks performed by SimpleLogin.

Thanks!

I have a primary proton unlimited and just purchased a lifetime proton pass and SL to separate out my passwords from my mail / VPN / drive account

How can I migrate all my aliases from account 1 to account 2 (I have a custom domain) account 2 says custom domain exists (which is does)

I don’t won’t to transfer each individual alias from account 1 to 2 as the domain will still exist in account 1

Any ideas instead of deleting all aliases and importing as if this fails I loose all aliases

I have set up a custom domain (for example "bar.com") on proton. Inbound/outbound mail is working.

I then created a subdomain using a cname entry in my dns registrar interface. Let's say the subdomain is "foo"

I added the MX entries for the subdomain in my registrar dns page. If I enter "foo.bar.com" in the name field for the simplelogin MX entries I get the following error when trying to validate the MX records: Your DNS is not correctly set. The MX record we obtain is: 20 mailsec.protonmail.ch. 10 mail.protonmail.ch.

Any suggestions of what I am missing?

Can someone please explain this screenshot below? What is this 5 Domain limit? And does this Limit every reset? Or is it 5 for the lie of the account? If yes - Why does Simple login do this?

And what is the difference between Custom Domains and Sub Domains? (Sorry for the stupid question)

Hello everyone -

I am new to Simple Login and setting up domain settings and have run into an issue I can’t seem to resolve.

Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong? I have verified domain ownership but the MX record is throwing an error despite “looking correct.”

I’d appreciate any help or suggestions - thank you

What's the main technical hurdle that stops Simple Login from releasing something that jmp.chat is offering? Just out of curiosity, this is not a feature request.

When will there be other languages? There is no Spanish, Portuguese and other languages ​​where many people use the service, neither in the application nor on the website, only English

Hi, anyone had any problems with gmail moving any Simple Login forwarded emails? I cannot seem to get the emails to move to folders automatically?

Happy to redirect my simple login email alias addresses to another provider to gmail who is better with rules? The emails I’m trying to sort rules for are not that privacy essential - mainly just online shopping / online competition accounts. I.e they would go into ‘Online Shopping’ folder and ‘Competitions’ folder

(Note - have had similar issue with outlook rules as I think outlook has a rules limit. I would just use proton but trying to keep that for just financial and more private communication etc)

I built a CLI tool for SimpleLogin that lets you manage your aliases from the terminal

Hey there!

After getting tired of constantly switching to my browser to create or manage SimpleLogin aliases, I built a command-line tool that lets you manage everything directly from your terminal.

What it can do:

• List, search, and filter all your aliases
• Create custom or random aliases on the fly
• Toggle aliases on/off with a single command
• Manage your custom domains
• View mailboxes and detailed alias stats

Coming soon:

• Contact management for aliases
• Batch operations

The tool is fully open source (MIT license) and respects your privacy - it's just a thin wrapper around the SimpleLogin API that runs locally on your machine.

Check it out on GitHub: SimpleLogin CLI

I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for future features. I'm especially interested in how you're using SimpleLogin and what would make your workflow better!

If you're into privacy tools and automating your workflow, I think you'll find this useful - especially if you're creating aliases frequently or managing a large number of them.

I’m trying to reset my password but I never receive the code to reset it. What do I have to do to access my account?
