And what do you actually use? I know the answer is probably self-hosting but maybe there are other solutions for a decent privacy.

    I am new to the alias world so I’ve a question. How can I be sure that an alias provider doesn’t have access to my emails when they are forwarded?

      Unfortunately there is no way, it requires trust. Just like you need to trust your email provider to not have access to your emails.

        A point can be made here for email providers that also provide aliasing services such as Protonmail/SimpleLogin: Since they’re the same entity, using an aliasing service requires no additional trust.

          True but I believe SimpleLogin is based in France while Protonmail is based in Switzerland. Two seperate governments.

            Indeed, interesting

            SimpleLogin is the product of SimpleLogin SAS, registered in France under the SIREN number 884302134. SimpleLogin SAS is part of Proton AG.
