It's not an alias, but you can effectively get this for free with any mail provider by using a plus sign (+). For a really extreme (and awesome) example, see:

He suggests using emails like: aorth+news.ycombinator.com+2020-04-12@example.com. The benefits are that you get a lightweight alias that you can filter on, but you also get a canary that tells you which site sold your email address when you start getting spam to it! :)
- PudgePacket 7y agoI've seen sites reject for having the plus and strip it on submit when I tried this :/ so not a perfect solution
- inapis 7y agoSites have started being smart about it. I also now know of services which won’t allow you to create an account if the string contains the service name in it.
