Proxy email address

Some services, such as Apple’s Hide My Email, give each site its own relay address. Mail sent to it reaches the user, and they can switch it off. Senders should keep their domain authenticated, since relays check it.

A check on a proxy address reflects the relay, not the person’s mailbox. If the user turns it off, mail to it bounces.
