- Alice wants Bob to notify her about something
- Bob advertises an email address specific to that something
- Alice creates a disposable email address and requests that Bob notify her about that something at that disposable email address
- Alice only accepts emails to that address from Bob's something-specific email
- Once Alice receives an email from Bob's something-specific email she discards the disposable email

You can use something like ntfy.sh, where you create a channel on a public relay and do pub/sub
