A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

The absolute best way costs a small amount of money.
First get a hosting plan. DreamHost has the “Shared Unlimited” plan for $13/mo. (Cheaper the first year, and cheaper if you pay for 1yr. or 3yrs.).
Next get a domain name. I recommend NameCheap. This costs like $14/yr. Most (but not all) domains have free anonymized registration.
You can then either use the mailbox space on your hosting or create forwarders to something like FastMail or Proton. Just make a new something@example.com address each time you need one. Blackhole it if it gets too much spam.
The hosting provider is unnecessary.
You can point the domain to proton mail or whatever email service you like. Then you can configure a wildcard so that all email sent to any address at that domain can go to a central email.
Then you can filter it and use rules to move or delete automatically. Minimal setup required, and nothing to do to "create" a new email address.
Yeah, you can do it that way. I mentioned the hosting in the case that they’d like to use mailboxes created on the hosting account rather than FastMail/Proton/etc.
And if that's too many steps, Fastmail already has the ability to create masked emails!
