I'm not OP but I do something similar, which I can describe. I don't whitelist addresses, I have a domain with a catchall account. So I make up addresses as needed. When I want them to die, I add them to a ruleset on the server that punts them into the bit bucket.
So far it has been really great. Easy, effective.

- dkersten 5y agoI do something similar and also use FastMail. I use <site-name>@sites.<my-domain> for all site signups, eg news.ycombinator.com@sites.example.com
