An add-on for generating unique email aliases for a domain with a catch-all email address set-up. READ THIS README ON GITHUB The email addresses are generated in the following format:


<site-identifier>.<encoded-timestamp><format-version>@<email-domain>

Components:

Site identifier:
- Derived from the hostname of the current site
- Dots are replaced with hyphens
- The www. prefix is removed
- Example: https://www.mail.google.com → mail-google-com
Encoded timestamp:
- Represents the time the email address was generated in seconds since May 1st, 2024 00:00 UTC
- The value is encoded into a string using this alphabet abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_
- const ALPHABET = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_"; function encodeTimestamp(num) { let encoded = ""; while (num > 0) { encoded = ALPHABET[num % ALPHABET.length] + encoded; num = Math.floor(num / ALPHABET.length); } return encoded; } function decodeTimestamp(encoded) { let decoded = 0; for (let i = 0; i < encoded.length; i++) { let charIndex = ALPHABET.indexOf(encoded[i]); decoded = decoded * ALPHABET.length + charIndex; } return decoded; }
Format version identifier:
- Current value: a
- Subject to change in the future (allows future extensions to the format)
Email domain:
- Your email domain
- Set in the extension's options page

Example of an email address: mail-google-com.d2l8da@example.com The code for generating addresses can be found here (in the generate-address.js file).
