SimpleLogin's Limits on Custom Domains Angers Users Demanding Unlimited Aliases for Every Site
The core dispute centers on technical limitations within email alias services, specifically how restricting the number of aliases per target site undermines user control with custom domains.
Comments reveal a deep frustration with current services; one user notes that SimpleLogin allegedly 'doesn't allow too many aliases for a given site like Reddit,' restricting use despite owning a custom domain. Furthermore, user 'TheTwelveYearOld' directly attacks the concept of catch-all domains, claiming they 'seem highly susceptible to spam' while asserting that creating unlimited aliases should be straightforward when using one's own domain.
The community demand is clear: users want email alias services that grant unlimited alias creation tied to a custom domain, ignoring service-imposed limits. The fault line splits between those prioritizing unlimited alias control and those who might prefer the simplicity (or security) of a catch-all system.
Key Points
#1SimpleLogin's alleged limitations restrict alias volume per site.
A recurring complaint is that the service imposes arbitrary limits on aliases for major platforms like Reddit, even when a custom domain is used.
#2Catch-all domains are questioned for their spam vulnerability.
User 'TheTwelveYearOld' argues that catch-alls appear 'highly susceptible to spam,' suggesting aliases are technically superior.
#3The user demands total control over alias quantity.
The core user frustration is the desire for *unlimited* aliases per site, asserting that full control over a custom domain should negate service restrictions.
#4Control vs. Restriction.
The sentiment is that services incorrectly restrict aliases to 'prevent 'ruining their own email domains',' when the user possesses the domain itself.
