@eladmeidar what do you see the potential uses for this product? Why would I want to send anonymous email? Are the safe guards built to prevent it from being used to harass people?
@nevermike Excellent questions, we are adding a way to blacklist your email from receiving any incognito emails through our system as we speak. we are also adding a "report" option for a specific sender in case such is harassing or misusing the system.
The primary use case for Blankstamp.io is obviously the right to remain anonymous. As there are ways to remain anonymous using almost every other communication methods (re: Blindspot app and SMS messages) we figured an email would be a reasonable addition. While talking to potential users, one example that we came across is an employee that witnessed a sexual harassment case at her workplace and wanted to report to her superiors without exposing her identity.

@eladmeidar Thanks for the explanation. I feel like getting the safeguards in ASAP is very important.
This is awesome! Except it keeps your email signature in the message, so if you use anything where your sig is not visible inline in your email your identity will be revealed anyway ;)
@braunshizzle We use the "_at007_" as a place holder to replace the "@" sign in the original email address since no SMTP server is capable of processing an email address with more than one "@" in it.
So basically, it is just a way to include your designated recipient address but still forward the mail to our servers and to apply anonymity.

@eladmeidar I figured so, and got the 007 reference ;-)
@colinrhoads simple. We have been reported by users about some cases blankstamp was used to report cases of bullying at schools and some cases of misbehaviours at workplaces. Yes, it can be misused and we are doing what we can to ensure it won't be easy, but when it is being used as a whistle blower, we're cool with that.

@eladmeidar Think if you do a true audit on the intentions of this product you'd see that the general do good scenario's you've mentioned are probably around 1%. The reality is this product makes it even easier for assholes online that aren't too computer savvy to be the even bigger assholes they aspire to be. Good thing is I'm pretty sure spam filters will always stay ahead of products like this.
