I haven’t been able to find any information about this online, so I’m posting it here.
I’ve been receiving emails TO addresses like @icloud.com.
I’ve checked all my hide-my-email aliases (including the archived ones) and I don’t own these addresses so I cannot disable them.
I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this issue?
You’re being bcc’d.
If you send a shitton of emails to: blahblah and then bcc everyone else, all recipients only see the to:blahblah address.
Yep, if you’re not on the recipient lists, then this right here is the correct answer.
OP you can confirm this by checking the source or original message and check for the “delivered to” info in the mail headers to see which email of yours that it was delivered to. From there you can decide if it is something you can stop (I.e another privacy relay email), or, the more likely case, just not worth the hassle (I.e the real regular email).
