If others reading this don't want to run their own mail server, other services offer the ability to generate suffixes (a la `+SignupPageFoo`) via other characters.
The one I use (purelymail.com) allows for underscores to serve this purpose, which will never be stripped. It's also super cheap (less than $1/month), though because of its low volume and AWS IP, my messages have a problem with getting marked as spam. The next comparable service I found that offered effectively infinite addresses was $50/year, so I fall back to gmail if I really need to send email.
- propogandist 6y agoFastmail supports email domain wildcards / catch-all rules whereas providers like Outlook do not.
- stiray 6y agoThis is not adequate. The + character is very well known part of standard and it is very simple to remove it, one search and replace would do on whole email list.
- the_jeremy 6y agoThe + character is only "part of standard" for gmail and whoever else chooses to copy them. This is why I mentioned that the provider I'm using allows _ to be used the same as +, which will not be stripped or replaced by anyone ingesting email addresses.
