phpList VS SimpleLogin

What benefit do I get from using those services, over putting an open source solution on a $5/month machine and using that?

>Email aliases, mailing lists, subaddressing and catch-all addresses support.

Another feature that would be nice to have built-in is masked hide-my-email aliases for privacy like the cloaked email services from iCloud, FastMail, SimpleLogin, Cloudflare email routing, etc.[1]

For now, I use the typical aliases addresses in Dovecot but it doesn't hide the real email when replying. Also, creating new aliases in Dovecot-based email systems is very tedious and cumbersome because you have to go through the cPanel interface to create new aliases. (Some suggest using "catchall" to simplify manual creation of new aliases but that's not workable when spam robots constantly send to new random addresses in your domain.) The cPanel/Dovecot aliases also don't have metadata so you can add details on what the alias is for and when it was created.

Note that other than Mozilla’s Firefox Relay and Apple’s Hide My Email there's also SimpleLogin: https://simplelogin.io/

Also the Bitwarden password manager has an integration for SimpleLogin.

Have you reported it here? https://github.com/simple-login/app/issues

To accomplish this, first create a SimpleLogin acct by logging in with Proton. Once thats done go to https://app.simplelogin.io/developer and create a website. Give it your authentik URL.

Yes, you can also use aliases with your 10 accounts for unlimited addresses and to conceal real addresses. https://simplelogin.io (or apps for iOS/Droid). Owned by proton. Use your proton credentials to login… simple login is included with some plans.

I know about https://simplelogin.io/ and as far as I know it is used under the hood by ProtonMail to implement the functionality.
