This article shows you how to block email forwarding so that you don’t receive emails from your masks in your real inbox. If you want to filter out spam and only get important emails, you can subscribe to Firefox Relay Premium.
If you mark an email from one of your Relay masks as spam, Relay will automatically disable forwarding for that mask to prevent further unwanted messages. You will receive an email notifying you about this, and you can easily re-enable the mask from your Relay dashboard if necessary.
