What MyShield is

MyShield is a web service for creating email aliases that forward incoming messages to the real inbox linked to the account. Senders see the alias rather than that inbox address, and users can delete an alias to stop future mail. Paid plans add controls to pause and resume aliases; Pro and Business users can also reply from an alias through a stable Reply Route associated with the alias and original sender.

Aliases work with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple Mail, ProtonMail, Fastmail, and other email providers. MyShield describes forwarding as live, without deliberate batching, though arrival also depends on the upstream and destination mail systems. Pro and Business support custom-domain aliases, configured with MX, ownership-verification TXT, and DKIM TXT DNS records. Those aliases route to the email address on the MyShield account, not separate inboxes.

The maker says message bodies and attachments are processed in memory rather than stored, while routing metadata is retained. It describes AES-256 encryption at rest for destination email addresses and TLS 1.2 or higher for SMTP connections. Filtering checks IP reputation, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, content heuristics, and known malware signatures in attachments. The free plan includes three aliases; Pro costs 75 ZAR a month and Business costs 149 ZAR a month.

Who it suits

MyShield suits people who want senders to use aliases instead of their real inbox address, while forwarding still reaches an existing email provider. Pro and Business may fit users who need custom-domain aliases, reply-from-alias, or pause and resume controls.
