A durable privacy layer, not a burner
alias.mom is not disposable email
Temporary-inbox sites give you a throwaway address that dies in ten minutes and that anyone can read. alias.mom is the opposite: permanent, private, two-way addresses that belong to you. Here's the difference, and why it matters.
What makes it different
Permanent, not expiring
Aliases live until you delete them. Disposable inboxes are
designed to vanish; yours are designed to last.
Two-way, not receive-only
You can reply from an alias and the other side only ever sees
the alias. A throwaway inbox can't send. Ours is a real address.
Private, not a public mailbox
Temp-mail inboxes are open: anyone who guesses the address reads the
mail. Your aliases forward only to your mailbox; nobody else can see them.
Yours, tied to an account
Every alias belongs to your account, with notes, rules, and history.
It isn't a random address shared with the world.
Survives cancellation
Stop paying and your existing aliases keep working forever. You just
can't create new ones beyond the free tier. Your logins are never hostages.
Actively anti-abuse
Proof-of-work signup, per-account rate limits, and bounce handling.
We even monitor disposable-domain blocklists and rotate our shared domains so
real mail keeps landing, the opposite of a throwaway service.
Why it matters
Disposable is for hiding once. Aliasing is for staying in control.
With a burner you sign up once and lose the address. With alias.mom you keep a separate, permanent address for every site, so when one starts getting spam or is breached, you turn off that one and the rest keep working. That only works because the addresses are permanent, private, and yours.
