I just did this on a website that said my Simplelogin alias isn't allowed for signup, but changed it successfully after the fact from a disposable email.

This is a problem in the above contexts. Services have started blocking signups with:

"Please use a popular email provider like Gmail or..."

Had this happen on my custom domain recently. Chose to not use that service, as others should do, too.

Unless it’s a necessary service I would decline to use the service.

Please name the service

I had that happen once, but I found that it worked with duckduckgo's email aliases forwarded to my own domain's email.

I have so far never encountered this. Which services would this be?
