Episode summary

A forwarding alias is an email address that passes along email to your real email address without the original sender ever knowing what that email is.

They usually allow you to reply, with the email coming from your alias also, thus providing privacy in both directions.

Unlike burner aliases, you will need to create an account in order to start creating forwarding aliases. One solid option is 33 Mail.

There are lots of ways to use forwarding aliases, but the one that provides the most benefit is to create a unique alias for every website or company that you share your email address with.

This gives you the most power to block spam and thwart phishing attacks.
