About The Project
Mailmask started as I searched for a simple solution to get a newsletter without sharing my real emailaddress. Trashmails were my first go-to but due to their temporary nature, the solution was flawed. The idea is simple: Generate a random email address that forwards all the incoming mails to your real address. This way the other party only knows your generated address which can not be linked to your real email.
Here is how it works:
- Enter your email address at mailmask.me
- Get a welcome mail with your newly generated mailmask address
- Use the mailmask address to receive emails
All incoming mails are stored in an S3 bucket for further forwarding and are deleted afterwards. In case the code fails for some reason, the emails are also deleted. Mailmask never processes the content of your incoming mails.
Built With
Infrastructure
- AWS Simple Email Service -> sending and receiving emails
- AWS Lambda -> executing the code serverless on-demand
- AWS S3 -> storing the incoming mails for forwarding
- AWS DynamoDB -> storing the translation matrix
- AWS Amplify -> hosting the front-end
