Speaking of plus addressing, too bad gmail doesn't have a feature that automatically adds a label of the "detail part" of a plussed address, without having to create the label and a specific filter for it. That'd make it so much easier to create vendor-specific addresses.
1. ignore all mail coming to the base (no plus) address that isn't also whitelisted/greylisted (too bad gmail doesn't support greylisting)
2. give out foo+vendor to any vendor, or foo+date to throwaway time limited mail. now you can see how +vendor gets distributed and decide to block all such mail easily.
3. stop accepting the time-limited mail after some period. eg
+2018 stop accepting after 2/2019
+201803 stop accepting after 4/2018
+20180407 stop accepting after 4/8/2018
boom, magic filters.
