Free anonymous email service without phone number or secondary email verification? Is there any left? Any thoughts or advice.
Thanks.

Running a mail server off your home connection:
- First off a lot of ISPs filter outgoing on port 25, which means it won't work at all.
- A lot of mail servers will reject mail coming from dynamic IP ranges/consumer ISP blocks.
- You're basically giving your home IP address to anyone you send an email to, and consumer ISPs arn't exactly known for standing up to requests for subscriber information.
Running a server off a VPS:
- If you set it up properly (and I really do mean properly, mail servers will reject mail or consider it spam unless you cross all the I's and dot all the T's..) the mail will probably get through.
- Most VPSes will want (accurate) contact information not to mention payment information, which means there is still a path back to you, but it's not as direct as phoning up your ISP.
Depending on the level of anonymity you are going for, the VPS option can work. If you want actual "stand up against a government" levels of anonyminity it becomes very tricky and honestly is best not to attempt unless you actually know what you're doing.
The death of signing up for online services without providing your real name, address, and phone number is indeed sad. The reason companies are pushing this so hard is advertising. Linking online activity to a real person that can be tracked across services is far more valuable than activity from a made up name/address. I honestly wouldn't mind so much if you didn't read about major services having their user databases stolen every other week. I have no direct objection to giving a service like patreon my contact information, but I don't because of, well, exactly what happened recently.

Or there are disposable email services where you get a temporary address for a short time.

Or just use Yahoo/Hotmail/GMX/whatever and use fake/disposable/temporary accounts for any email verification.

What are you trying to achieve?
