You can do something similar with Gmail - if your email is matt@gmail.com you can receive to Matt+1@gmail.com, matt+2 etc.
Although some websites reject this format.
- Rygian 3y agoSpammers will definitely remove the + suffix.
- cobbaut 3y agoWhile the + is part of the RFC, many websites do not accept a +sign in an email address field.

- Vinnl 3y agoOr worse, they'll accept it, but then some backend system trips over it, and now the product you ordered never ships to you, but customer service doesn't know how to refund it either.
- jcynix 3y agoI've been "fighting" many websites in the last 20+ years, which use(d) javascript libaries which accept "only a-z, 0-9 and _" as valid characters in a local part. Some even changed their code after I complained and pointed them to the relevant parts of RFC822 (and all successors) IMNSHO: sysadmins who do not know that the local part of an email address is not of their concern (as long as it complies to RFC 822++), are not worth their money. And web designers? Don't get me started on that topic ;-0 Edit: ok, they even allow "." and "-" in local parts.
- everybodyknows 3y agoGmail does not see "." as contributing to uniqueness of the addressee name. So for instance a missing "." expected in "matt.smith@" is a reliable flag for rejection.
