I would go one step further and look for {spam_words} in "username+{text}@{googledomain}.com", where spam_words can be "junk", "spam", etc. This is like a very narrow edge case, but still might catch something. Again, if you're into that kind of thing; I'm quite skeptical that it brings any value.

- pbhjpbhj 11y agoOr someone from Scunthorpe (cf the "Scunthorpe Problem").
- aidenn0 11y agoOr Dick van Dyke.
- simi_ 11y agoThat's not at all what I meant. Gmail redirects emails to "youremail+whateveryouwanthere@gmail.com" to "youremail@gmail.com".
