Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/issues/448

To what I'm referring to in the title is that instead of getting and 8 characters long hash (12345678@example.com), i could for example define what up to the first 7 characters should be, completing the rest with random characters.

Ex. amaz -> amaz4h5s@anonaddy.me

Basically giving usability to the user for having recognizable characters in the mail, and still having the anonymity by keeping the random characters in there (at least 1)

This might also simply be a new Alias Format (ex. Custom + Random Characters)

This has now been added, just select the alias format as custom and a shared domain and it will automatically add 5 random characters to the end of the local part.
