    My concerns with this site are the domain will get flagged as a spam / illegal content / threat domain. Which will impact anyone trying to use it as real email.

    With no identity / payment gateway it’s inviting people to abuse it.

    Being able to attach files to emails sent anonymously is going to intice bad behavior by bad actors.

    I like the idea, free anonymous email, it’s my kind of crazy. But when running such a site we need to protect it from abuse or the site will die.

        Perhaps that was the case a year ago when you posted this, but now the free accounts allow zero outbound msgs.

        It’s interesting that their highest tier plan is capped at 150 msg/day. In any case, I think @jet@hackertalks.com has no cause for concern.

        My problem is that they delete trial accounts without reason & without warning. So I distributed my email address to people and just a few months later the address is dead. They don’t say the free accounts have a time limit. I thought the only limit was lack of sending feature.

        Yes, and in fact it’s worse than your linked page suggests. I was happy to receive email and not send. So that free trial would have been forever perfect for me. But after a few months my login creds mysteriously quit working. No warning and no msg after the fact to tell me why my #onionmail.org account was deleted.

        It’s a dick move because people rely on email for important tasks. It’s fair enough to have limitations, but concealing the limitations is off.
