Does Fastmail use + like gmail?

  No, you can have completely different email addresses (aliases), even on different domains

  Fastmail also supports subdomain aliasing (where messages sent to <anything>©<username>.<domain> go to the <username>©<domain> inbox). This is less obvious to mass emailers that GMail + aliasing, and I don't think it can be detected alogrithmically in the way a + in the username on gmail.com can. I normally sign up for services with an email that attests to the account's original intent, e.g. I buy cat food using chewy.com@<username>.<domain>.

    Is that really a copyright symbol? I would think most webforms would reject that.

      I suspect someone writing on a phone accidentally picked the wrong symbol, meaning to use @.

        Maybe they could reserve one alphanumerical character for this purpose.

        Too late to edit the original comment, but this is exactly what happened
