AnonAddy

An open-source email alias and forwarding service (an alternative to SimpleLogin) that lets users generate unlimited anonymous addresses that forward to a real inbox. Its standout trait is a mature Laravel foundation with proper 2FA and API-token support.

βš™ Full Stack

Laravel (PHP) application backed by MySQL, using Postfix for inbound SMTP mail handling and Redis for queues/caching. Email forwarding logic runs as a dedicated mail-processing pipeline separate from the web UI.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

The web/API tier is fairly stateless and can scale behind a load balancer, but the SMTP mail-processing pipeline is the real bottleneck and typically stays a single instance per deployment unless deliberately clustered with a shared queue.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Multi-pod deploy: Laravel app pod, `mysql.pod:3306`, `redis.pod:6379`, and a mail-handling pod for Postfix β€” inbound mail routing (MX records, SMTP ports) needs external DNS/firewall configuration beyond typical Nexlayer HTTP ingress. Not a drop-in single-pod app due to the mail-server component.
