generating and transmitting the text message such that it carries an image of the email message content.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating and transmitting the text message comprises:

generating and transmitting the text message such that it carries text representing the email message content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the text message is a first text message and wherein the method further comprises:

when the set of authorized email addresses does not include the originating email address:

(i) analyzing the alias map to identify a user email address mapped to the alias email address; and

(ii) generating and transmitting, to the user email address mapped to the alias email address, a second text message configured to notify a user associated with the user email address that an unauthorized sender emailed the alias email address mapped to the user email address.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating and transmitting the text message comprises: encrypting the text message as an encrypted code and transmitting the encrypted code.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing a record of contact email addresses to identify a one or more contact email addresses mapped to the service;

wherein generating and transmitting the text message comprises addressing the text message to the one or more contact email addresses.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alias map is stored such that:

each of the one or more alias email addresses is: (i) mapped to a single one of the one or more user email addresses, and (ii) mapped to a single one of the one or more services; and

each of the user email addresses is mappable to multiple ones of the one or more alias email addresses and multiple ones of the one or more services.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alias map is stored such that:

each of the one or more alias email addresses is: (i) mapped to a single one of the one or more user email addresses, and (ii) mappable to multiple ones of the one or more services such that a particular alias email address can be utilized for multiple services; and

each of the user email addresses is mappable to multiple of the one or more alias email addresses and multiple of the one or more services.

12. An aliasing system for handling unauthorized emails directed to an alias email address, the aliasing system comprising:

a communication interface;

one or more processors coupled to the communication interface;

one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memories storing: (i) an alias map mapping a one or more alias email addresses to a one or more user email addresses and a one or more services, and (ii) a one or more whitelists for the one or more alias email address, each whitelist including a set of authorized email addresses for a different one of the one or more alias email addresses;

wherein the one or more memories further store computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

(A) receive, via the communication interface, an email that (i) includes email message content, (ii) originates from an originating email address, and (iii) is addressed to an alias email address from the one or more alias email address;

(B) analyze the one or more whitelists to identify a whitelist for the alias email address;

(C) analyze the whitelist to determine whether or not a set of authorized email addresses in the whitelist includes the originating email address; and

(D) when the set of authorized email addresses does not include the originating email address:

(i) prevent the email message content from being forwarded to a user email address mapped to the alias email address;

(ii) analyze the alias map to identify a service mapped to the alias email address; and

(ii) generate and transmit to a server associated with the service, via the communication interface, a text message configured to notify the service that an unauthorized sender emailed the alias email address.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the computer readable instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

when the set of authorized email addresses includes the originating email address:

(i) analyze the alias map to identify a user email address mapped to the alias email address; and

(ii) forward the email message content to the user email address mapped to the alias email address.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein: (i) the alias email address is a first alias email address; and (ii) the email is a first email;

wherein forwarding the email message content to the user email address mapped to the first alias email address comprises causing the one or more processors to:

automatically generate a second alias email address for the originating email address;

generate a second email that: (i) includes the email message content, (ii) originates from the second alias email address; and (iii) is addressed to the user email address; and

transmit the second email to the user email address.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the computer readable instructions further cause the one or more processors to: encrypt the second email as encrypted code before transmitting the second email, wherein transmitting the second email comprises transmitting the encrypted code.
