How it works

One product on mailby.app. Mail still arrives via MX mail.mailby.app — clean separation between web and SMTP.

  1. 01

    Open a session

    Your browser gets a private session cookie on mailby.app. That session — not the email address — authorizes read access.

  2. 02

    Allocate an inbox

    Mailby creates an address on mailby.app (random or custom local-part) with a receive window and retention clock.

  3. 03

    Mail hits the MX

    Senders deliver SMTP to mail.mailby.app. Postfix checks the recipient, then hands off over private LMTP.

  4. 04

    Parse & protect

    Workers parse MIME, encrypt objects at rest, sanitize HTML, and extract OTPs and links for one-click copy.

  5. 05

    Read, then expire

    Your session reads a safe preview. When retention ends — or you delete — access is revoked and content is purged.
