Still looking at this, and so far the paid plans are looking good.
One of the biggest problems with listing this in my eyes is that the free plan does not adequately protect people’s privacy (which you know, since you sell “secure inbox privacy” as a separate feature). I would not want readers signing up for Forward Email’s free plan thinking that it provides equivalent privacy to an aliasing service like SimpleLogin or Addy.
Context for readers here: On the free plan, the email mailbox you are forwarding to is stored in your domain’s DNS settings. This means that if I forwarded alias@my-domain.com to my-mailbox@protonmail.com for example, anyone could find out my real email address is my-mailbox@protonmail.com with a DNS lookup.
One possibility is that we would add a warning to the recommendation about this issue and specifically recommend against the free plan. On the other hand, we usually require all product offerings from a company meet minimum standards. A point about bundled services where not all services qualify was recently brought up here: Avoiding the next Skiff - #123 by DaffyDuck
Interested in people’s thoughts.
