My list of list of list inclusion trumps your second order list. I use my work emails sometimes for conference registrations, those always get burned and I get spam mail immediately. Conf registrations are the worst.
- thisisbrians 6y agoIf you use Google Mail (and the email field in the form lets you) you can do <youremail>+<whatever tag you want>@gmail.com to track stuff like this.
- Spooky23 6y agoSpammers aren't dumb -- this gets stripped.
- NullPrefix 6y agoNext logical step would be having <youremail>+<secretKey>@gmail.com as the real email and <justyouremail>@gmail.com as spam box.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoThat is a great idea. I really want my email hosted some place and that I could write my own "post arrival" simple business logic.

- sneak 6y agohttps://anonaddy.me https://anonaddy.me I use this service a lot.
- drdeadringer 6y agoClearly you like them because you use them a lot. Anything about them you mislike?
- dorgo 6y agoMaybe it's too early, but I don't get it. If the spammer doesn't strip "+<secretKey>" then you get spam in your real inbox. Btw, what is so secret about the secretKey if you post it on the internet?
- NullPrefix 6y agoYou give different secretKey to each recipient. This way you know who leaked your email.
- jfkebwjsbx 6y agoIt works for common spam, but it does not really work for curated lists because they can remove it. (I think it is also an RFC standard, not just gmail, but don't quote me on this).
- kcolford 6y agoNot an RFC standard but it is a "de facto" standard. Everyone implements it, the config line for it is just commented out on postfix, super easy to use.
- Bnshsysjab 6y agoI’m pretty sure you can insert or strip periods ‘.’ in gmails too
- searchableguy 6y agoUse temporary email alias? That's what I have been doing.
- kugelblitz 6y agoI use my own domain and have a catch-all. I usually enter the domain name as the identifier. I.e. here it would be news.ycombinator.com@mydomain.test
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoI sometimes do the same. It's weird to me that some places immediately sell your email and other orgs do not. Like a graph database conference seemed to lead to a lot of new spam.
- Bnshsysjab 6y agoIt’s not some conference, it’s some asshole who has the ability to implement that kind of behaviour. I bet loads of people working at that graph conference didn’t agree but either didn’t know or didn’t have a say in the activity.
