Anyone have a good self-hosted version of this? I’d like disposable email addresses that won’t get added to block lists.

I don't know one, but if you have Apple devices, Hide My Email may be a nice effort-free solution for you:

No one would dare block @icloud.com.
Also have you consider plus addresses or . addresses ("." is preferred if your email provider supports it -- harder to assume that you can just remove the dots for downstream spammers).
[EDIT] Did some quick searching, and the F/OSS community has delivered! There are at least two you could use:

I run a small digitalocean instance with just postfix running on it that forwards to my real email address at gmail, using aliases. It takes me under 15 seconds to log in, create a new aliases, and run 'newaliases'. This way I can keep aliases around that are important and when they start spamming, just go delete it until I need it again.

If you're considering running postfix, IMO you should consider running maddy/chasquid instead:

They're simpler, and maddy (at least) has an S3 backend now.

Isn't it easier to just catch-all and blacklist the spamming ones?

if you're using google apps (bring on the downvotes, for good reason tbh) then this is just email aliasing / fwding.
Point being that I image many mail providers offer such a thing

I made one (running on catcher.mx.ax) available here https://github.com/jawr/catcher not much in the way of documentation I’m afraid :(

Alternatively just set up catch-all on your existing email for the domain, no extra apps needed.
