## What it is
SimpleLogin is an open-source email aliasing service that lets users create unique aliases to receive and send emails without exposing their real address. This repository contains the backend API and web application, which can be self-hosted on a Linux server with Docker.

## Use cases
- self-host an email alias service
- protect my real email from spam and phishing
- create disposable-looking aliases for website signups
- send emails anonymously from an alias
- forward alias emails to my inbox with PGP encryption
- run a private alternative to SimpleLogin's hosted service

## When to choose
- you want full control over your email aliasing infrastructure on your own domain
- you need a privacy-focused, open-source email alias solution with PGP support
- you want to integrate alias creation via API, browser extensions, or mobile apps pointing at your own server

## When to avoid
- you need a full mailbox or email hosting solution rather than alias forwarding
- you cannot operate a Linux server with port 25 open and configured DNS (DKIM/SPF)
- you only need one-off throwaway inboxes rather than permanent aliases
