That domain is not listed, although I have an alias created for that domain.

fastmail.uk is a valid Fastmail domain
Fastmail has owned the fastmail.uk domain since August, 2015. The help link is currently in error. You can create a new Fastmail account or add an alias at that domain.

I'd still like to know why there appears to be restrictions on some local names you can choose as a prefix to go with any of those aliases, i.e., why some local-part names always result in "already been taken" when I cannot believe they are.

Restrictions to local-part of address to prevent fraud and confusion
Quote:
You can use you own personal domain(s) and add nearly any local-part you wish (subject to restrictions on email addresses and host names in the internet standards). Bill |

Strictly speaking some names on that list aren't based on any official standard, only on the current practice of certain providers, plus a modicum of common sense.

Also ones I had found (anonymous, register, and account) are not on that list either and some on that list are allowed by FM. I guess when I have a moment I should submit a ticket and ask FM if they can send me a list or post it.

Nearly all of the posters here are users of email services. So maybe you should ask “can Fastmail support that?”
If you meant to ask if Fastmail could support those four domains (as opposed to aliases), Fastmail does not offer any domains ending with .io or .me as standard domains for aliases. Of course, if you own any of those four domains you can use them for Fastmail email if you have a Standard or better account. Are you asking whether those local-parts of email addresses are available as aliases at Fastmail domains, such as Fastmail.me@fastmail.com or Fastmail.me@eml.cc? As I stated earlier in this thread, you can’t use aliases which begin with “fastmail” for use with Fastmail-owned domains. So no, you can’t use Fastmail.io or Fastmail.me as aliases at Fastmail-owned domains. But you can use aliases such as “FM.me” and “FM.io” at Fastmail domains if they are not in use. I just created these at a Fastmail domain testing this, so now you won’t be able to use those two aliases at that domain. This shows why I believe that it’s a bad idea to publicly discuss specific email addresses or domains which don’t yet exist - others can grab that address or domain before you do! Bill |
