Some websites do that. They block at the domain level. It tends to become a escalating game of spinning up new alias domains.

I have a custom domain, which websites never block, because they have no way of knowing that I use it for aliases.
Interesting. I think I will consider the custom domain solution then. Thank you!
Having a custom domain for email also makes it a lot easier to move email provider in the future if you want/need to since your addresses can stay the same as long as the new provider supports catch-all for all the aliases.
You could try Proton’s other domains first, because they might not all be blocked. Another option is to use a different company’s mail aliasing/forwarding or for these rare cases.
I do this as well. Bought one from njal.la for $15/yr
