GhostRelay
What it is
GhostRelay creates email aliases that forward messages to a real inbox, helping separate a primary address from SaaS signups, online shopping and freelance work. Users can make random or custom aliases and manage them from a dashboard by monitoring, disabling or deleting them. The free plan costs nothing, requires no credit card and includes up to 20 aliases, unlimited forwarding, custom names, enable or disable controls, and a privacy dashboard with analytics. Forwarded messages preserve the Reply-To header, and the service supports replying from an alias. Any email address can receive forwarded mail, including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, ProtonMail and iCloud. GhostRelay says email is processed in memory without being written to disk or retained. Its policy describes TLS 1.3, AES-256, bcrypt and signed JWT authentication, and says it uses no ads, tracking pixels or third-party analytics.
