What ExpressMailGuard is
ExpressMailGuard is a web-based private email relay for keeping a real address hidden behind aliases. You can create aliases for services, newsletters, shopping, and other sign-ups, then have messages forwarded to a recipient inbox. The service says forwarding works with any email provider and device. Alias choices include shared domains, dedicated subdomains, and custom domains you own. A single dashboard lets you create, change, deactivate, or delete aliases. You can also send and reply through aliases, including adding multiple recipients to an email chain. Delivered messages are deleted immediately, while failed deliveries may remain temporarily and are removed after seven days. ExpressMailGuard is included with ExpressVPN Basic, Advanced, and Pro plans and stays active only while that VPN subscription is active. Custom domains cannot already handle email through another provider.
