Mail Privacy Protection in iOS 15

Hello — is there any way to have both NextDNS and Mail privacy protection on in iOS 15? It only works when I disable NextDNS completely (and there’s nothing in my logs that looks like it’s being blocked). 
 

thanks!

    Seconded.

    I’d rather not have to choose between Mail Privacy Protection and NextDNS.

    Appears to be resolved or a work around deployed? More info available where?

      Chris you mean 15.1 beta? As it’s not stable rn

      DynamicNotSlow Yeah, I skipped 15.0 because of the bugs. 15.1 is much better already, but still a shitshow overall.

      That said, I'm not sure what OP is seeing as not working, so I can't really compare. I have created 1 hidden email with it so far and received an account confirmation email to it without issue.

      Chris OP talks about mail privacy which protect your privacy at reading mails so the opposite doesn’t know anything about you. With NextDNS you got a info at top (in an opened mail) that the feature doesn’t work.  
       

      you talk about email aliase which works with NextDNS, yes.

      DynamicNotSlow Oh that might be it. Hide My Email works fine, but I don't have the mail app installed.

    Looks fixed with iOS 15.1

      DynamicNotSlow it’s definitely loading the images in 15.1 properly, but I think it just disables privacy protection with NextDNS on. It’s supposed to load all the images with a proxy but I see the full dns records of every email. Doubt it’s a NextDNS issue at this point though.

    The problem is back. Looks like something changed on NextDNS side or Mail Protection doesn’t use workarounds anymore.

    The problem persists indeed, on macOS as well.

    This is not fixed. NextDNS profile interferes with Mail Privacy Protection on MacOS 12.3.1.

    This is peculiar. Apple Mail Privacy Protection (which is what this thread is about) seems to be working fine on my iOS devices, but not on MacOS Monterey. Monterey Mail tells me "Your network preferences prevent content from being loaded remotely." These devices have the same network config, using a local NextDNS CLI server.

    The issue is complicated because Mail Privacy is related to iCloud Private Relay, both of which hide IP and other info. Under Network settings on Mac (WiFi for iOS) there is another checkmark for Limit IP Tracking. When I deselect this, Mail Privacy seems to be working in Mail on Mac. Grrr.

Content aside
