# Take mail from strangers on your terms

Publish an address and decide what reaches you, sender by sender and word by word.

Senders Domains Muted words

Inbox

Hidden while you read Show

Refused mail never reaches you. The sender is not told why.

How it works

## Running in three steps.

1. 01
   
   Publish an address
   
   Make one for each place you publish, or leave catch-all on.
2. 02
   
   Set its lists
   
   Blocked senders, blocked domains and muted words, on that address alone.
3. 03
   
   Block from the message
   
   One click blocks the person, or everything from their domain.

What it runs on

## The parts doing the work.

Nothing here is a separate product. Each one is a piece of the mailbox you already have.

Block a sender or a domain

One address, or everything from a domain, stopped before it reaches you.
