Provides full data control with detailed Docker-based deployment on Linux, including Postgres, Postfix, and Nginx setup as per the README, allowing customization and privacy.
Supports PGP encryption for forwarded emails and custom domain usage, enhancing security and personalization, with clear instructions in the environment configuration.
Offers browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox to generate aliases on-the-fly and mobile apps for Android and iOS, making it easy to manage aliases from any device.
Allows creating unlimited email aliases and disabling alias suffixes via DISABLE_ALIAS_SUFFIX in self-hosting, giving flexibility without restrictions.
Self-hosting requires configuring multiple DNS records (MX, A, DKIM, SPF, DMARC), setting up Docker, Postfix, and Nginx, which is time-consuming and demands technical expertise.
The README specifies setup for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, with no native support for other OSes, restricting deployment options for users on Windows or macOS servers.
Incorrect DKIM, SPF, or DMARC configuration can cause emails to be marked as spam, and the README admits DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate, affecting reliability.
