The problem with gmail + emails is that it's well-known those are aliases, and anywhere you signup can just strip the "+xxx" part to get your permanent address.

- oarsinsync 11y agoSorry, I may not have been sufficiently clear, you'd register a new throwaway gmail address, and then create forwarding filters based on throwaway+alias. At that point, it doesn't matter if $badsite strips the +alias and learns your email is throwaway@gmail, you're not forwarding mail sent to that address anyway. Anyway, I'm probably going to register a throwaway domain to use for disposable email per my final suggestion, so thanks for the post!
- jonahx 11y agoI see. Yeah, that would work. Although the process of setting up the forwarding wouldn't be just inconvenient enough that I wouldn't use it most of the time, I think.
