For others looking for a self-hosted alternative like Formspree I wrote something similar that deploys to AWS Lambda [0]. Nothing fancy, just a AWS Lambda endpoint that uses SES to send emails. Instead of aliasing email addresses for privacy like OP I just use the native Node.js crypto module to create a hex string of the address upfront.

I do this for a site I manage and it was remarkably easy to set up. I would recommend this for people who have familiarity with AWS, but not as a first introduction to AWS.


Thanks, also a big TypeForm fan. For the future, there's also a variety of other similar form forwarding services like this if you don't want to run your own. Like Formspree (https://formspree.io) for example.
