I set up a wildcard email and a filter on my inbox so that any email received to an address beginning with "trap-" ends up in a special folder. This lets me add metadata to the address like trap-28082017-producthunt@mymail..., so then I know who sold my info to whom and when if the email appears in someone else's list in the future.
At first I was frustrated you had to sign up first, I thought this was something like mailinator. I use mailinator for my user testing startup. The testers use it when they have to sign up for an account to test a website, software, or whatever.
I've started to use rules in my email to manage spam, but this is a better idea.

great idea
Pros:
I like privacy
Cons:
I probably won't remember what email I signed up for on the site. I'm nervous as to how you make money without selling my data
Good service.
What about privacy? Is anyalias saving emails?

@sarperrkaya Thanks. We care a lot about your privacy and that is why we delete all emails from our servers right after they have been forwarded successfully.
@arunsathiya I guess you meant "user name" as the service doesn't let you enter your last name at all.
The max 10 characters limit is for your username which is used as your sub-domain.
We believe usernames should be as short as possible for best experience.
