Show HN: MiniMail – Disposable Email Service for Everyone

The biggest problem with these services is they never last. It's easy to set up something like this, but there are so many of these services and so few non-technical people understand the need/purpose of them, they don't get the traction required to be viable and disappear, thus perpetuating a vicious cycle for the overall "disposable email" sector as folks realize that you can't trust any of these services to stick around...

For those wondering about the domain it&#x27;s a service called EU.org which allows for free domain names (since 1996!)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nic.eu.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nic.eu.org&#x2F;</a>

Sure, but how long until the sites that require an email to set up a new account add this to their list of blocked providers (or just switch to requiring a sms number like some of the bigger sites already do)?<p>Or ar least I&#x27;m assuming that&#x27;s a primary use case for something like this.

As someone who used Mailinator for a long time, the world can always use more of these services - what’s unfortunate is that it’s an arms race. As domains are known to be fronts for disposable emails, they just get blocked. Apple’s hide my email is great because they cannot block iCloud, and it would be great if Google or Microsoft offered similar services.

Just to remind folks Apple provides this service for all iOS devices automatically.

nice! heres my similar project<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wumbo.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wumbo.co</a> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;lt&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;wumbo&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;lt&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;wumbo&#x2F;</a> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;wumbo&#x2F;edkhadeemcopbnpejegflkkdfdiocigc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;wumbo&#x2F;edkhadeemcop...</a><p>feel free to use any of that for inspiration or reach out if u wanna bounce around any ideas

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paced.email" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paced.email</a> and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vend.email" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vend.email</a> are two services that I developed that provide &quot;disposable&quot; email addresses.<p>Paced Email is a productivity tool with the ability to add team members, rules, etc and paces your mail into regular digests.<p>Vend Email is similar to Firefox Relay but has the added benefit of email forwarder transferability to other users.

I wish those many disposable email service would opensource. Running my own would be the best. I built one a long time ago that was getting emails piped to but it was cpanel and by no means a generic email service I could deploy anywhere

If you are a fastmail user, they provide a similar option. You can create masked email on @fastmail.com that redirect to your inbox and then delete it when you are done.

Anyone have a good self-hosted version of this? I’d like disposable email addresses that won’t get added to block lists.
