AnonAddy
Self-hosted anonymous email forwarding with unlimited disposable aliases
Overview
AnonAddy is an open-source email alias and forwarding service written in PHP (Laravel) that enables users to create unlimited disposable email addresses that forward to their real inbox without revealing it. It supports custom domains, catch-all aliases, GPG/OpenPGP encryption of forwarded emails, and reply-from-alias functionality. Deployment requires PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, and a working MTA such as Postfix.
Where it falls short of Gmail / Google Workspace
- Requires a properly configured Postfix MTA alongside the application, increasing setup complexity
- No newsletter or campaign functionality; alias forwarding only
- Mobile apps point to anonaddy.com by default; self-hosted URL must be configured manually
- No built-in spam filtering beyond what the upstream MTA provides
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
