What Burner Mail is
Burner Mail creates email aliases that forward messages to a personal inbox, helping keep a personal address private. An alias can be disabled to stop incoming mail or deleted permanently, since deleted aliases cannot be recovered. Suspected spam may be quarantined for review, with quarantined messages expiring after 14 days unless released or removed sooner. Replies can be processed so the burner address appears as sender, and one alias can forward mail to multiple recipients. Custom-domain support allows up to 100 domain names and up to 100 aliases per domain, with unlimited forwarded emails per day and attachments on the listed plan. The service works with any email provider, and Chrome and Firefox extensions are available. A beta API supports listing, creating, and deleting burner addresses. Burner Mail says forwarded content is not intentionally retained after delivery, although it may remain temporarily in operational queues. The paid custom-domain plan costs $24.99 a month when billed annually; there is no free plan.
