anon_email
Alias-based email forwarding you control, on your own AWS account.
anon_email is an email forwarding service. You create aliases — addresses
like news@darkmailer.net — that forward to a real inbox you own, so the
address you hand out is never your own.
It runs as Terraform modules and Lambda functions in your AWS account: a control plane REST API, and a mail path that receives, optionally encrypts, and forwards messages.
Where to go next
REST API reference
Every endpoint, with request bodies, parameters, and response shapes.
Authentication
Calling the API with a Cognito ID token.
Tenancy model
How the API isolates one account's data from another's.
Errors
The error shape and the status codes every route can return.
What it does
- Aliases forward mail from a public address to one or more recipients. Delete one and the address is immediately free — deletion is permanent.
- Recipients are the real inboxes. They must confirm ownership by email before they can receive forwarded mail, and can hold a PGP key so forwarded mail is encrypted.
- Accounts own aliases and recipients. Every request is scoped to the caller's account by the token they present; no request can name another account.
What it does not do (yet)
Plans and quotas are read-only (GET /subscription); rule-based forwarding,
catch-all addresses, and bulk operations are deferred. The API reference notes
where behaviour differs from a typical forwarding service.
