An email management server system, comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
- memory storing program code, the program code being executable by the at least one hardware processor, the program code comprising:
- an alias generation engine operative to:
- receive from a first client device a first request for a first alias email address for a first user to provide to a first entity of a plurality of different entities, the plurality of different entities configured to provide a plurality of different services using a plurality of servers remote from the email management server system;
- generate the first alias email address for the first user, the first alias email address having a domain associated with the email management server system, the first alias email address being dedicated to the first user;
- receive from the first client device a second request for a second alias email address for the first user to provide to a second entity of the plurality of different entities;
- generate the second alias email address for the first user, the second alias email address having the domain associated with the email management server system, the second alias email address being dedicated to the first user and being different than the first alias email address;
- receive from a second client device a third request for a third alias email address for a second user to provide to a third entity of the plurality of different entities;
- and
- generate the third alias email address for the second user, the third alias email address having the domain associated with the email management server system, the third alias email address being dedicated to the second user;
- a data store, coupled to the alias generation engine, operative to:
- store the first alias email address in association with the first user;
- store the second alias email address in association with the first user;
- store a first key email address in association with the first user, the first key email address being a first valid email address for the first user;
- store the third alias email address in association with the second user;
- and
- store a second key email address in association with the second user, the second key email address being a second valid email address for the second user;
- and
- an alias agent engine, coupled to the data store, operative to:
- forward a first email message from a first party to the first key email address, the first email message having a first message destination of the first alias email address;
- forward a second email message from a second party to the first key email address, the second email message having a second message destination of the second alias email address;
- forward a third email message from a third party to the second key email address, the third email message having a third message destination of the third alias email address.

- receiving from a second client device a third request for a third alias email address for a second user to provide to a third entity of the plurality of different entities;
- generating the third alias email address for the second user, the third alias email address having the domain associated with the email management server system, the third alias email address being dedicated to the second user;
- storing the first alias email address in association with the first user;
- storing the second alias email address in association with the first user;
- storing a first key email address in association with the first user, the first key email address being a first valid email address for the first user;
- storing the third alias email address in association with the second user;
- storing a second key email address in association with the second user, the second key email address being a second valid email address for the second user;
- configuring the email management server system to forward a first email message from a first party to the first key email address, the first email message having a first message destination of the first alias email address;
- configuring the email management server system to forward a second email message from a second party to the first key email address, the second email message having a second message destination of the second alias email address;
- and
- configuring the email management server system to forward a third email message from a third party to the second key email address, the third email message having a third message destination of the third alias email address.
