To do something similar as an individual, I highly recommend 33mail.com [1], which provides a generous free tier, and lets you supply arbitrary <companyname@yourdomain.33mail.com>. As well as knowing where a leak originated, you can easily block any inbound email address if it is being abused.
Not affiliated, just a happy long-time paying customer.

- ATsch 9y agoI don't know what the HN policy on referral links is, but here's a link without affiliate tracking: http://33mail.com http://33mail.com
- scoot 9y agoThat isn't strictly affiliate tracking, but yes, if you're uncomfortable with 33mail.com knowing you came from HN, don't click ATsch's link, but copy and paste it instead.
- elsombrero 9y agoI do the same without using 33mail. I have my mail hosted on zoho mail which gives me infinite aliases that get redirected to my main address and in case I ever need to forward a mail from an alias I can create a new address with that alias, use it and then delete it. So when I register to a new site I usually input <sitename>@mydomain.com and then if I want I can create a filter to sort them automatically
- glenneroo 9y agoIf you set up a catch-all for your domain, then you don't even need to create addresses unless you need to reply from that address.
- scoot 9y agoYou don't need to 'create' addresses there either, it's a catch-all on your person subdomain, but with one0click blocking.
- qrbLPHiKpiux 9y agome too. any new email address is businessname@mydomain.io Already caught a few selling my info
- jeffdubin 9y agoSame. Particularly interesting when you start getting spam to massiveCreditReportingCo@mydomain.com, or who sends mail to boughtaNewCar@mydomain.com after giving that address at the car dealership.
- supergreg 9y agoWhat do you do after you catch them? Is there any place to report them, maybe depending on which country they are based, or you simply stop doing business with them?
