People have learned that you can simply strip that part out of the address... it's in the standard. If you want to know where your data leaked out, you should use a different email every time (e.g. use your own domains).
- cuonic 10y agoUsing Postmail's virtual aliases and a nice web interface to manage them, I create a random virtual alias (h9jle20gavs32@domain.tld) associated with a site name for every place I have to input an email address, it makes spam tracking pretty simple.
- dhimes 10y agoI would love to see a spam-shame site made by people who do this, outing the companies who sell or trade our email addresses.

- jcranmer 10y ago> People have learned that you can simply strip that part out of the address... it's in the standard. I'll take "Common RFC 821/2321/5321 myths" for $300, please. RFC 5322 and RFC 5321 are very emphatic that the local part has no semantics whatsoever except those given to it by the MTA. There is no semantics for what "+" means in the standards.
- bigbugbag 10y agoI'm still surprised that so few people know about www.spamgourmet.com it's been around for 15+ years and offers the exact feature you're talking about. You don't even have to create the alias, it will be created on first use.
