If it was about being able to spam, they'd just silently strip the + part. I think it's just ignorance ... in my own mailserver I have a custom separator that usually doesn't trip validation functions.
- billme 6y agoThis assumes the “+” is not a trick to see if they are stripping the “+” from the username of the email address; which then is automatically flagged as SPAM. Of course this assumes you’re creating a new email per contact, not just using a feature that was never intended as a anti-spam tool.
- jrockway 6y agoI used - in the qmail days and never had any problems. The + causes enough problems that I've basically stopped using it. People seem to spam me, but gmail is pretty good at filtering all that stuff into the "Promotions" folder, which is nice.
