-A standard alias is any alias that can be created on-the-fly. Automatic on-the-fly alias creation is only available for domains that are unique to you.

So if you signed up with the username "johndoe", any alias you create using @johndoe.anonaddy.com would be a standard alias (even if you've generated a UUID/Random Word one).

 ## How do I add my own GPG/OpenPGP key for encryption?
 
-On the recipients page you simply need to click "Add public key" and paste in your **public** key data. Now all emails forwarded to you will be encrypted with your key. You should also replace the subject line of forwarded messages in your account settings as this cannot be encrypted.

 ## I'm trying to reply/send from an alias but the email keeps coming back to me, what's wrong?
 
-If you are tying to reply or send from an alias but the email keeps coming back to yourself then it is most likely because you are not sending the message from an email address that **is not listed as a verified recipient** on your AnonAddy account.
+If you are trying to reply or send from an alias but the email keeps coming back to yourself then it is most likely because you are not sending the message from an email address that **is not listed as a verified recipient** on your AnonAddy account.
 
 If you try to reply or send from an alias using an unverified email address then the message will simply be forwarded to you as it would be if it was sent by any other sender.
 
 Please double check that you are indeed sending from a verified recipient email address by inspecting your sent items to see which address it was actually sent from.
 
 ## I'm trying to reply/send from an alias but it is rejected, what's wrong?
 
-If you see the rejection message `5.7.1 Recipient address rejected: Address does not exist` then this means that the alias has either been deleted or does not yet exist (and you do not have catch-all enabled), you must restore (or create) it before you can send/reply from it.

-If you see the rejection message `5.7.1 Rejected due to missing/failed DMARC policy...` then it is because your AnonAddy recipient's domain either does not have a DMARC policy or it has failed DMARC checks.

 When replying or sending from an alias, **additional checks** are carried out to ensure it is not a spoofed email.

 If you are having issues with emails being rejected as "possibly spammy" by Google, iCloud or Microsoft then please try the following steps if you can:
 
 1. **Replace the email subject** by going to your settings in AnonAddy
 2. Try adding a GPP key and **enabling encryption**. This will prevent the email's content being scanned and reduce the change of it being rejected.
+3. Enable the option to hide and encrypt the email subject
