In my experience adding the domain of the recipient often leads to problems.
Rep: "Can you verify your email address?"
Me: "er, em-verizon@example.com"
Rep: "Hey, I didn't know you worked for Verizon!"
Me: "no..."
And now the call gets excruciatingly slow and unfriendly because the rep thinks I'm trying to hack something.
Also, more than one web forum has silently binned me until I removed the domain from my email address. Had one where I could post for a few days, then the admin deleted me and sent that email address a crazy anti-spam rant thinking I was a bot.
I still like using unique email addresses but I make sure they're obscure.
