Today I discovered a very interesting service that can end once and for all with spam in our emails, it is called MailHero.io. Throughout this article we will see
how to avoid spam with Mailhero
.
The Mailhero service is completely free and the first thing we will have to do is go to
your website
and register with a valid email. We must bear in mind that
the email we provide during registration will be the email address to which emails that are not spam will be sent
.
How can we end up with spam definitively with MailHero.
Mailhero is based on the principle of creating different aliases for each website in which we register and then deciding whether or not to block that alias.
Let's start at the beginning, let's explain that it is an alias of our mail.
When we register with Mailhero we will be assigned an email address consisting of our username followed by
@mailhero.io
, for example:
[email protected]
When we register on a website that we suspect will send us spam emails, newsletters, newsletters, etc ... we must use an alias. As an example, let's call the malicious website that intends to send us spam
"xyz.com"
, because when we register on it we will use an alias as an email, for example,
[email protected]
Now the evil website will send all emails to
[email protected]
and from the Mailhero page, we can decide if the emails that arrive at that alias will forward them to us or block them.
Thus we would be creating an alias for each website in which we register, and then we can decide whether or not to block the emails that reach that alias.
If we do not block the alias, the emails will be forwarded to the email address with which we have registered in Mailhero.
These aliases are created automatically, we do not need to configure them or anything like that, just use them at the time of registration on the different websites and they already appear automatically in the Mailhero panel.
The main advantage of using this service is that we can avoid almost all spam, but it also has another very important feature and that
prevents
us
from exposing our real email address to the public
. In short, a very useful and also free service, you can not ask for more.
