Wonder how common it is to leave the +xyz appendix on email addresses when renting/selling them, or if they’ve been regexing them out for years.

- hamburglar 1y agoI personally use a different, but still perfectly compliant suffix character. So just simplistic +suffix filtering isn’t complete. I’ve also considered using a double suffix and having the first one be required, so if someone cut off all suffixes it would go into junk anyway.
- black_knight 1y agoI have a script which generates random addresses for each site, with a database to lookup what E-mail belongs to each. No regexing away that!
- Barbing 1y agoNice! random @ SpecificDomainOnlyYouUse .tld ?
- Arch-TK 1y agoRegexing them out will break mail deliverability if the mail system doesn't do plus addressing. And you cannot know from a third party perspective if someone just likes putting plusses in their email address or if the plus is for plus addressing.
- Barbing 1y agoInteresting. Apply to Gmail even? Not sure they’d let you register foo+1 at Gmail or force you to choose foo or foo1 and plus accordingly later
