In short
- Is the goal to hide your real email from every site you sign up to? SimpleLogin is built for that and goes further (PGP, open source).
- Is the goal that
hello@,sales@and your domain’s aliases reach Gmail or Outlook, and you reply from there as the domain? That is mxproxy’s job.

What SimpleLogin does better
- Replying from the alias without setting up SMTP in your email, and without revealing the real address.
- Unlimited own domains for a flat price.
- PGP, open source and the option to host it yourself.
Where mxproxy is different
- It is the domain’s email, not only aliases: one address reaches several inboxes at once, with a catch-all for typos.
- You reply from inside Gmail or Outlook, signed with your domain’s DKIM, as from a mailbox on the domain itself.
- A log of every message, an adjustable spam filter and a Telegram or webhook alert.
You can use both: SimpleLogin for website sign-ups, on a subdomain or a domain just for that, and mxproxy for the main domain’s email.
Aliases at mxproxy
In the dashboard, “New random alias” creates a pronounceable address on your domain, with a note of who you gave it to; if it leaks, just turn it off, or discard whatever reaches it without bouncing anything back to the sender. Addresses with + (hello+shop@) reach hello@ with no setup.
