I use a similar approach due to me having the luxury of an owned domain. The problem, however, is that most companies still rely on crappy Enterprise services like Microsoft Office. For most people managing identities like this is impossible to do - due to either lack of user-friendly options or due to too high thresholds of necessary IT knowledge. I mean, we are speaking about having to configure Dovecot and Postfix and similar tools, and I fuck that up regularly. And we are also assuming that they have to be unguessable (you have github@? maybe I should target linkedin@, too, then!) which implies that they have to be random-looking which means they will likely be blocked by registration filters. Newer projects like Maddy [1] kind of go towards that direction, but are still targeted at developers or sysadmins. [1] https://github.com/foxc
