Episode summary

There are three types of email aliases. They each work quite differently but share the same purpose: to avoid exposing your real email address to abuse.

The first type is a burner alias. These are very short lived email aliases, often used for receiving just a single email.

The second type is a forwarding alias. These stay around for as long as you need them, but can be deleted at any time. They can do almost everything a burner alias can do, but often cost money.

The third type is an integrated alias. These are quite similar to forwarding aliases, but a bit simpler and safer to use. They can do everything forwarding aliases can. They are by far my preferred choice of alias, and the one I use almost exclusively.
