## What it is
The self-hostable source code for addy.io (formerly AnonAddy), an open-source anonymous email forwarding service. It lets users create email aliases that forward messages to their real inbox, with optional GPG/OpenPGP encryption, alias deactivation, and replying/sending from aliases.

## Use cases
- self-host an anonymous email forwarding service
- create disposable email aliases for website signups
- hide my real email address from websites
- encrypt forwarded emails with my PGP key
- disable an alias that starts receiving spam
- reply to emails without revealing my real address
- use my own domain for email aliases

## When to choose
- you want full control over your email alias data by self-hosting
- you need PGP-encrypted email forwarding
- you want an open-source alternative to commercial alias services
- you want to use your own domains for aliases

## When to avoid
- you want a fully managed service with zero setup (use the hosted addy.io instead)
- you need a full email mailbox/hosting solution rather than forwarding
- you cannot operate a web server, mail server, and DNS configuration
