Github dislikes email “aliases” so much that they will shadow ban your otherwise normal activities for months, and once flagged, support will request not only a “valid” email domain but also that you remove the “alias” email from the account completely.
Basically another email address that forwards everything to your main email.
So a redirect instead of alias? E-mail alias is the address+alias@… thing.
I thought that was a gmail specific thing.
It is, an email alias is a redirect. They’ve just been calling plus codes aliases and didn’t know they were mixed up.
Yeah let’s say you got [email protected], on simplelogin you can make a [email protected] and now sign up for services using aleeas with those emails being forwarded to your protonmail

What was this feature called again… basically linking, right?
It’s called an email alias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_alias
Thats an extension
How would they even detect that? Blacklist common alias providers?
I guess so
I dont think so. I get my self hosted aliases banned. They must read the dkim/spf/dmarc or other types of headers against a base of mainstream email providers
Wouldn’t that ban self hosted email period?
Depends on what header they read and how
