"it is trivial to strip suffixes off of aliased email addresses ..."
This actually is not a bad point to make ... it would, in fact, be simple to strip +aliases but ... economically I don't think it makes any sense.
You'd have to have a high level decision maker dictating an engineering fix in order to increase email authenticity by ... .01% ?
... and that assumes that the "engineers" down the chain understand how '+' works in email to begin with and have somehow communicated that back up to management.
- vmception 6y agoMy response here is that I think this discussion is naive, as the data brokers themselves already do it. So who cares about what some engineer at a random new business thinks. Aliasing isn't new. So this isn't a cat and mouse game that just got started.
