Member-run mail forwarding
A different address for everyone who asks for one.
afrogomous is a small forwarding service run by its members. Members give out addresses at afrogomous.org instead of their real one. Mail sent to those addresses goes straight through to a real inbox, and replies go back out under the alias.
sent to an alias → passed through → a member's own inbox
- New members by invitation
- Reply from any alias
- No ads, no tracking
- Real addresses stay private
How it works
Nothing to install. Members manage their own addresses; everyone else just sees an ordinary email address.
-
01
Make up an address
One for each shop, clinic, conference or forum: dentist@, coffee-club@, june-conference@. It takes seconds.
-
02
Give it out
Put it on the form, the receipt, the newsletter sign-up. Mail lands in your usual inbox, and you can reply straight from the alias.
-
03
Turn it off
When an address gets sold on or starts drawing spam, switch it off and the mail stops. You also get a fair idea of who leaked it.
What happens to your mail
It gets passed along, not collected. These are the promises we make to members and to anyone who writes to them.
- Your real address stays hidden
- People who write to an alias never learn where the mail really goes. Replies go back out under the alias, so your real address stays out of their inbox too.
- Nobody here reads it
- Mail is forwarded on, not stored for anyone to browse. We don't read it, sell it or share it.
- Records are for delivery and abuse only
- Which alias got mail, from where, and when. That's used to get mail to you and to trace abuse, and for nothing else.
- No ads, no trackers
- Nothing on this site tracks you, and we never add ads or tracking pixels to forwarded mail.
Membership
Closed to the public, on purpose.
Addresses at afrogomous.org are only issued to members, and members join when an existing member invites them. Keeping the group small keeps the domain trusted by the big mail providers, keeps abuse rare, and keeps the costs split a few ways.
Were you invited?
Write to us from the address you'd like mail forwarded to, and mention who invited you.
Write to usNo invitation? There's no waitlist, sorry.
Abuse & postmaster
Members can reply from their aliases, but bulk mail and spam aren't allowed. If something unwanted reached you from an afrogomous.org address, tell us and we'll find the alias and shut it.
