A bit of a tangential point, but most systems ain't smart enough to know that foo@example.com and foo+bar@example.com are aliases of one another. Handy trick for keeping spam isolated; if you start getting unsolicited marketing emails from foo+tmobile@example.com, then it strongly suggests who was naughty with your personal info :)

- yellowapple 6y agoIt ain't exclusively a Gmail thing - other mailservers support it, too - but Gmail was indeed an early adopter of it, I believe.
