For anyone on iOS or MacOS, there’s Hide My EMail built into iCloud services. It generates an email address and automatically sets up forwarding to your iCloud account. You can add notes to remind you what it’s for. You can disable an address at anytime in the iCloud settings.
The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.
I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.
What is your use case for needing to send from one of these addresses?
I had this issue - I was trying to cancel my Guardian online news subscription, and they make it painful. Insist the email must come from the address, they didn’t allow a code validating ownership etc, was a complete pain
That is certainly interesting.
I had to contact a service’s support which was email only
