Any illegitimate email collection service already knows to strip out email subaddresses.
If you’re trying to avoid email spam, there’s not much difference in giving someone myname+foo@gmail.com versus just myname@gmail.com.
- eli 3mo agoYou could just use my.name@gmail.com for the no-alias version. So myname+foo@ works and my.name@ works but myname@ goes directly to the trash.
- gruez 3mo agoThat can also be normalized.
- edoceo 3mo agoYea, gotta take all dots out on the username portion of Gmail address
- urbnspacecowboy 3mo agoIn which case the Gmail user knows to mark mail without any dots in the address as spam.
- eli 3mo agoThat's the version that goes directly to the trash.
- joshuaissac 3mo agoThe normalised version is what gets redirected to trash, according to GP's proposal. Legitimate senders who do not normalise have their mail delivered to the inbox.
