Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Which email alias services allow unlimited aliases for websites with a custom domain?
SimpleLogin doesn't allow too many aliases for a given site like Reddit, even with a custom domain. I get that services don't want to ruin their own email domains, but I should be allowed to do whatever I want with my own domain.

Email works with both domain reputation and IP reputation. Even if you have your own domain you're still using their IPs for emails, they're still tied to it for abuse.
I've been hosting my own for over a decade, works great and no limits other than what the hardware can do. I'd recommend doing that since you already have a domain.
mxroute.com. Also fastmail (not literally unlimited but some number in the hundreds I think). But they are on the expensive side.
Fastmail does catchalls through subdomains automatically. So if my fastmail address is xyz@mydomain.com then anything@xyz.mydomain.com will be forwarded to me. So that's how I assign special addresses to websites and stuff. I don't know if mxroute does that.
In practice places have gotten less obnoxious about sharing emails. It's been pretty rare for those addresses to spill across multiple senders.
You could go with a regular mailing service that has a catch all feature and the ability to forward emails to your main address. You lose out on all the useful features such as disabling certain addresses and open your inbox to more spam but it’s an idea.
Not gonna outright recommend them in a privacy subreddit but for example Cloudflare has a feature like this from what I can tell and so does Apples paid icloud plans.
The custom domain feature isn’t ready yet, but I’m looking to launch it in the next two months. If you’d like to help me test it, I can give you free access in exchange for trying out all of the features and giving me bug reports.
Almost any basic web host will allow you to create unlimited email addresses and/or aliases for your domain. Most will offer this service with even their cheapest "shared hosting" plans. And if all of the aliases are going to same person, just enable the catch-all mailbox. Why bother with an email-only service at that point?
I don't understand. How does the site you're using the email alias for impact how many aliases you can have? I use simplelogin with a custom domain and have never been restricted from adding an alias. I don't recognize the issue you're having.
