    I use Namecheap and am going to pay for their anonymous whois service for some domains, but not others. Don't want to leave a footprint.

    Are there any free email services that allow you to set up a forwarder to a catchall account? I'd put that in the whois.

    Also are there any other anonymous whois providers?

    Thanks.

    If you buy new domains at Namecheap you still can use FREEWHOIS code at checkout for free Whois Privacy

    have a nice day

    I could be wrong but don't the whois protection services create an email account for you so any attempts at contacting you are first sent to them and then they will forward it to your email?

    I think this is how it is at GoDaddy. Not sure about NameCheap.
