Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I’m not comfortable with how much I use that.

I use https://10minutemail.com/

If it’s blocked and I don’t care enough use my normal email, the site isn’t worth it imo.

I use Firefox Relay (@mozmail.com) and so far I’ve been able to use it everywhere I wanted to.

Don’t you have to pay for the premium to get more than a few redirects?

No it’s 5 free emails rerouted, you have to subscribe after that which is why I bailed. If I misunderstood that I’ll have to look at them again.

Sign up for a domain at a registrar and get hosted email. Setup a catchall address (as in anything @yourcomain.com gets delivered. Make up addresses as needed. By setting to companyyouresigningupwith@yourdomain.com each time you know which companies sold your info.

That’s what I do with Google Domains.

I’ll just add heavy emphasis to properly configure this, because otherwise anyone can use your domain as a catch-all host.

Which is how scammers hijack domains for sending spam and other content.

I think you’re thinking of an open relay, not a catchall mailbox.

How about duckduckgo’s email alias service? It allows you to send and receive without exposing your actual email.

What might be a deal-breaker is that you can only reply to others’ emails, others must send something to the @duck.com address first

You don’t need to wait.

The format is address_at_provider.com_id@duck.com for sending emails.
