For anyone that uses SL and catch-all, have you noticed on the fly catch-all doesn't appear to be working with a custom domain?
I signed up on a website and used my domain with the name of the business name @mydomain like normal expecting to receive a free ebook. I waited about an hour and nothing. I tried using another catchall and nothing again.
This is very unusual behavior.
So does that mean, I shouldn't use simplelogin emails for important things, and cases where it's not possible to change email later?
Is there any meaningful difference between signing up for a SL account which gives you access to PP versus signing up for PP which integrates SL?
After using both services for a while, I've come to realize that Proton's relationship with r/SimpleLogin has gone well beyond "integration". At this point, most of SimpleLogin's core features have been quietly replicated inside r/ProtonPass.
Most of the SimpleLogin's features can already do natively in Proton Pass today. Create and disable aliases, Create reverse aliases via the Contacts feature, Add and remove mailboxes, Add and remove custom domains (with their own separate MX records for Proton Pass) etc.
That last one is telling. Proton Pass doesn't just rely on SimpleLogin's infrastructure. It has its own set of MX records for custom domains. That's not integration. That's a parallel service being built from the ground up.
To be fair, SimpleLogin still holds some ground. Things like subdomains, directories, PGP key management, and alias import/export are still exclusive to SimpleLogin. So it's not a complete takeover, yet.
The resources and features are flowing toward Proton Pass. Proton Pass having these features baked in is genuinely convenient for Proton users. But it does raise questions about the long-term independence and future of SimpleLogin as a standalone product.
Whether this is good or bad really depends on our perspective. For Proton ecosystem users, it's a welcome convenience. For standalone SimpleLogin users, it's worth keeping an eye on where things are headed.
Is there a reason why someone can’t create a reverse alias via the website for an email like this that is totally valid
