This is a very interesting system, and I can see myself using it frequently for things like throwaway email addresses for forums, required registrations, and other things.
However, I would want to know that security issues as mentioned elsewhere in the thread were addressed before hand. Especially using it for throwaways for websites, which will often involve a short term password, you don't wnat someone else to be able to create that alias and then reset my password and compromise my account.

SETNX is great :-) This fixes issue #7 (http://github.com/pilif/tempalias/issues/closed/#issue/7 http://github.com/pilif/tempalias/issues/closed/#issue/7)
- jerf 17y agoIf you are really concerned about the privacy issues, grab the code and run it yourself somewhere, which wouldn't be a bad idea anyhow; if you're that concerned about privacy you shouldn't be relying on any external email service.
