Would be nice to have such feature to auto-generate randomized part along with custom prefix/suffix.
User should be able to choose desired random chunk mode (UUID/etc.), custom text (with included separator if needed), and whether the custom part is a prefix or a suffix (or even in-middle).
The purpose of this is to have custom emails that are still hard to be guessed by someone.
For example, instead of 'skype@subdomain.anonaddy.com' user can get 'skype-a4e1aa94-498d-4cc5-afa3-a3fce6b3bf16@subdomain.anonaddy.com' or 'a4e1aa94-498d-4cc5-afa3-a3fce6b3bf16.skype@site.com' or 'a4e1aa94!skype!a3fce6b3bf16@site.com' (creepy one, I know) etc. This GUID was generated in a separate online service but it would be nice to automate this process.
Update: Another way to do that is to simple provide placeholders such as {UUID}, then let the user to write something like 'skype-{UUID}' for a custom part (not sure whether {} are a valid e-mail chars but if they are, there also should be a possibility to escape them like {{ }}).
@willbrowningme commented on GitHub (May 20, 2022):
Thanks for the suggestion, I definitely do plan to add much more customisation and options for alias formats in the near future and will allow something similar to this.
