This is neat, but I'm really only interested in the source to use in my own projects.

I wouldnt want @maskedmail.com, I'd want @app.mydomain.com or whatever. I guess thats trickier becuase I'd need to provision a catch-all account and then have something parse through all emails to any address.

Yeah, I do realize that this would be ideal for people. It would be possible to point an mx record at me, and I could add your custom domain. So you could point your app.yourdomain.com MX record to my IP. I would know that based on your api key that requests coming from you should be created with the 'app.yourdomain.com' address and not maskedmail.net. That capability is actually built into how I have it set up now. If you are interested I would be happy to talk more about how we could get that set up.

Thanks for the feedback
