## Common questions

### How do I make the AnonAddy mobile app use a self-hosted instance?

Change the app's API base URL to your self-hosted server address, since the default points to addy.io. Create an API key in your AnonAddy account and enter it in the app's settings.

### What are the main setup steps for a self-hosted AnonAddy deployment?

You can deploy the AnonAddy code or the official Docker image. Configure the web app and wire incoming mail through Postfix so messages are piped into the application.

### Can I reply to or send from an alias without exposing my real email address?

Yes, you can reply and send from aliases without exposing your real email address.

### What can I manage with the AnonAddy API?

The API documentation lists endpoints for account details, aliases, domains, labels, blocklists, and failed deliveries, with authentication through an API token.
