Emailias complicates the process a tad, but it is safe and still fairly easy to use. When you request a new alias, you get a random address. Emailias lets you assign nicknames to aliases, and it remembers which site an alias was created for.
Emailias will also replace your real address with the appropriate alias when you send replies. This and the option to create disposable Emailias addresses using your own domain name make Emailias blend nicely into and work seamlessly with your existing email setup.
Emailias also introduces a new twist to the email address disposition game: retirement. When an Emailias alias is retired, you do not get mail through it — as if it had been deleted — but senders get back a message giving them a new alias to contact you in a kind of challenge/response way.
A particularly nice touch of Emailias is the "friend" alias: an alias that forwards to any address, but only once. That's great for "email this page" functions on web sites or greeting cards, for example.
