Not really an issue.

Maybe this could be labeled with suggestion or something.

But in case somebody wants to use incognitomail (the idea is pretty nice!) but
is not willing to drop their GMail or w/e account, they could simply configure postfix to forward
the messages received to that account.

This guide shows how it could be done.

I haven't tried this out yet, though. I'll report back if this idea pans out.

Has anyone tried this yet?

Hey @snowcrshd,
IncognitoMail already supports this. Since postfix uses the virtual-alias-map to forward addresses, you can configure IncognitoMail to use this file when writing new addresses.

In fact, I have written a bit about how to do that in the readme. I have configured my setup following the ArsTechnica tutorial (which already sets up the virtual-alias-map) and it works great. The guide you linked also works fine.

All you have to do in IncognitoMail is set MapFilePath = "/etc/postfix/virtual-alias-map" in the config, changing the path to your actual virtual-alias-map file.
