Fastmail supports something like this, but the process of adding a new outbound alias every time I need one is not streamlined enough, so the conversation goes like this:
> otherperson@ABC.com to burner123@subdomain.mydomain.com: Blah blah
> me@mydomain.com to otherperson@ABC.com: Blah back at you!
> otherpersonABC@ABC.com to me@mydomain.com: Who are you and why are you responding to my message to burner123@subdomain.mydomain.com?
Does 33mail make it easy to continue the conversation under the alias?
- KMnO4 3y agoYes, 33mail can modify the reply-to so that it proxies the emails back through the alias. So emailing longrandomstring@33mail.com will reply TO the original address FROM the alias address.
- mat_epice 3y agoUnder "my email addresses" in settings, I have "*@example.com" as one of the entries. With this arrangement, fastmail properly fills in the appropriate example.com email address when I reply.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoOh I may have overlooked that, thanks.
- mat_epice 3y agoIt seems easy to miss. I've got multiple domains that I manage this way, and upon inspection at least one of them doesn't have this configured properly.
- mtlynch 3y agoI'm not sure if the subdomain screws it up in your case, but my experience with Fastmail is that they handle this really well. I set up a catchall forwarding address, and then if I receive an email to whateverburner@mydomain.com, when I reply, Fastmail automatically populates the From address with whateverburner@mydomain.com. Have you set up a catchall address for that subdomain?
