In iOS and macOS mail.app, you can select the from name in the compose sheet and the option to autogenerate and random email address using “Hide My Email”.

Not totally intuitive but pretty decent.

Ah, that is helpful. Thank you.

If Apple would provide an easy and straightforward method of sending emails from that garbled and, to the layperson, "anonymous" adresses all kind of dumb shit would happen. I guess they don't want that kind of publicity, even if they can obviously trace every offender.

Gmail used to have send-as feature that verified only with your ability to click on the link that you get from google on that inbox.

Technically you can do the same with SES on AWS as well, they verify just a single email address this way (domain is with dns records), and they have SMTP gateways to connect to a mail client .

Fastmail handles this perfectly.

Yup, this makes is unusable for me. Try AnonAddy bro, its much better. You even get iOS app to manage your aliases on the go.
