MaskMail – Project Archive

Formal Notice

MaskMail was a free, privacy-focused email aliasing service that operated live from 2021 to 2023 at mailmask.github.io. During this time, the project successfully generated over 10,000+ aliases, serving users who sought a secure way to protect their real inboxes from spam and tracking.

This service, which began as a passion-driven hobby project, was sustained independently without any external funding. Unfortunately, due to increasing operational and API-related costs, the service became financially unsustainable and has been officially discontinued since late 2023.

We thank all our users for their trust and support during the project’s active years.
