On the webapp, I would use a Standard Aliase and later click on the "Forget" option. After a few days later, an email would show up from that forgotten email and I would see the alias has been recreated in my account.

@willbrowningme commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2022):

This is not a bug, it is intended behaviour.

When you forget an alias the modal states "If it is a standard alias then it can be created again since it will be as if it never existed."

If you have catch-all enabled for that alias' domain then it can be automatically created again as soon as someone sends an email to it.

You should either:

  • turn off catch-all for that domain / subdomain
  • delete the alias instead.
