What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI see SimpleLogin mentioned in the replies several times, but I haven't seen anyone mention that you can use your own domain name with them to prevent vendor lock-in.
You can also export your setup through their API so you can very easily migrate to a self-hosted instance if ever necessary:
wget --header "Authentication: YOUR_API_KEY" https://app.simplelogin.io/api/export/aliases -o simplelogin-export-$(date +%s).csv
And given the author talks about Have I Been Pwned, I feel I should mention that SimpleLogin has built-in HIBP integration (contributed by me in https://github.com/simple-login/app/pull/472)
In An Ode to Apple’s Hide My EmailThe most popular open-source alternatives are SimpleLogin[1] and AnonAddy[2]. The former one was just acquired by ProtonMail[3].

Worth mentioning that its back-end app[1] is also open source, not just their Android[2] and iOS[3] apps. So basically open source + custom domain = no lock in. But I'm not so sure how easy it is to set up your own back-end server (I imagine it's like setting up your own email server, which isn't trivial)

In You can now send replies from your Duck AddressesIf there are other Simple Login / free G Suite users, please upvote the github issue below. With Google providing a way to migrate from G Suite to a normal Gmail account, SL is considering adding SMTP access which would allow us to migrate an unlimited amount of user / domains over. This would provide a cheap way to forward / respond from our domain addresses while using a free Gmail address.
