- mhw 10y agoThe domain has now been taken over by scammers, so it might be worth removing the links from the github project.
- ehnto 10y agoI feel like this kind of service would be used for nefarious means pretty regularly, and subsequently the people trying to track that kind of activity would be knocking on the door quite often. Did you find that to be an issue? Once upon a time I considered a similar service that could be abused and ultimately chose not to go ahead because it simply "isn't my problem" to deal with those two groups of people. I wanted no part in it, for good or evil, even as an unbiased conduit.
- jbergstroem 10y agoThis here is unfortunately why services like these are a bad idea. If you don't control the MX pointer you need to accept that these mails can be lost. A lot of mail providers seems to support the + syntax and similarly so MTA's like postfix. I would suggest you direct your attention there instead.
