- phlo 9y agoNot OP, but I do the same thing using wildcard addresses on a domain I own. I might use hn@my.domain for Hacker News, amzn@my.domain for Amazon and so on. Foregoing the custom domain, some email providers also let you add tags to your address (e.g. your_address+tag@gmail.com). I'm aware of some people who use that functionality to have unique email addresses for each service.
- piotrkubisa 9y agoI also use this method. Thanks to it I usually can check if e-mail was automated and also I am not disturbed by e-mails with social media notification, shop promos or marketing spam during work. Also some e-mail providers allow to create many e-mail aliases which shares the same inbox.
- luka-birsa 9y agoSome of us use myemail+sitespecific@gmail.com. It gets delivered to the same myemail@gmail.com. Other mail providers probably offer the same convenience.
- ainiriand 9y agoSome nasty login forms block the '+' symbol from being used.
- piotrkubisa 9y agoI sometimes use multiple dots to create an alias, but it only works for a fraction of e-mail providers (i.e. GMail). E.g.: example@example.com is the same as exa.mple@example.com.
- IceyEC 9y agoFastMail supports tag@username.domain.tld
