Burner Mail

What Burner Mail is

Burner Mail creates email aliases that forward messages to a personal inbox, helping keep a personal email address private. Users can disable an alias to stop its mail or delete it, but deleted aliases cannot be recovered. Suspected spam can be quarantined for review; quarantined messages expire after 14 days unless released or deleted sooner. Replies can be preprocessed so the burner address appears as the sender, and one alias can forward messages to multiple recipients. The custom-domain offering supports up to 100 domain names and up to 100 aliases per domain. The FAQ says Burner Mail works with any email provider. Browser extensions are listed for Chrome and Firefox, and a beta API reference covers listing, creating and deleting burner addresses. Burner Mail says successfully forwarded email content is not intentionally retained after delivery, though messages may remain temporarily in operational queues. Its privacy policy says personal data is not sold or rented. The custom-domain plan costs $24.99 a month when billed annually; there is no free plan.
