And what do you actually use? I know the answer is probably self-hosting but maybe there are other solutions for a decent privacy.

People here seem to think that email alias providers are more secure then a custom domain. I would argue they are the same.

If someone is going through the trouble to find you, the alias provider will give up your payment information and your real email address.

A custom domain will give up your registered information.

If you want a truly anonymous email, don't have it funnel to your personal / main account.
