I am trying to send an email from an alias with simplelogin. I went to their website and clicked the contact link, but after sending the email, I looked in the headers and saw my real email with my real name. Is this on my side or can the recipient also see my real name? If so, how to turn this off?

    You can test exactly what the recipient will see by emailing yourself via simplelogin

    Did that email go directly to the recipient address, or did it go thru a simplelogin alias for the recipient address? The simplelogin recipient alias strips off your real email address during the pass thru.

    answering the question in the title…no. Not to the service you’re using it to sign up for anyway

    But someone monitoring the emails going from one address to another? Probably yes.
