Will existing masked emails still work and possibly remain manageable even after the enterprise license expires?
The docs give a clear and direct answer here. According to the Enterprise License documentation:
“Enterprise licenses expire on a fixed date; once expired, Enterprise features stop working until a new license is installed.”
This means that when your Enterprise license expires, masked emails will stop working - both the ability to manage them (create, disable, delete) and their ability to forward incoming mail. Masked email is documented as an Enterprise-exclusive feature, and the server enforces this at the feature level once the license is no longer valid.
To avoid any interruption, Stalwart supports automatic license renewal - you can configure an API key from the Stalwart Labs Licensing Portal so the server fetches a fresh license up to five days before the expiry date. See the Enterprise License docs for the full setup.

If true, I won’t invest in the feature then.
I only bought enterprise licence to show support and not sure I’ll keep renewing it as I don’t need any features but masked emails seems useful.
Edit: Please consider having the existing masked emails function as is if the licence runs out. Don’t like the idea of being locked out of an account if for some reason I can’t renew the enterprise licence.
Once the licence expires, existing masked addresses stop forwarding. The masked-address records themselves stay on disk, so installing a fresh licence later brings them back exactly as they were. Worth treating the Enterprise licence as a hard dependency if you’re planning to rely on masked emails.
