I think you’ve missed the most important detail regarding the “+” email identifier in my opinion. For me the biggest benefit is using it to parse through login credentials exposed via breached data sets; this allows us to trace through which sites/services have been compromised. Doing this we’ve been able to harden our own endpoints against clients email addresses / credentials that have been compromised and even identified 4 breaches prior to the public being notified.

They only shared the address with the partners I approved so that's fine. The bulk of the spam email I'm getting are addressed to decade and decades old(one I've had for at least 25 years) addresses that were listed as contacts for my domain names at one time. That was publicly searchable information. I did find several legitimate emails in my spam folder though. At this point I might be better off without a spam filter. My domain contact information is private now so I can update those email addresses and filter anything addressed to those old email addresses. If this proved anything to me it's that the problem isn't so bad anymore. I'll continue to do things the same way though because someone will eventually mess up and I want to know who.

@@CattopyTheWeb true, but you're often paying alot less than you would be paying to most of those data-breach services. and you don't have to give out the real mail-addresse you're using to sign into the mail-box or when sending mails. every phisher/spammer having some brains knows that everything after the + in a gmail-address is just a filter and isn't part of the real mail-addresse, none of them can be sure that mailA@domainnameX is the same person as mailB@domainnameX. nor that they all end up in the same mailbox (or not) ps: this often also allows you to assign mail-addresses that do end up into such spamlists to a seperate very small mailbox so any and all mails send to those bounce back 'mailbox full' - often also helping you to get those adresses automagically removed from such spamlists.

Of course 1 address=1 person, but all those with @domainnameX are probably co-workers or relatives, no?

i already knew this but sadly these companies are realizing this trick or blocking the plus sign entirely

Head about it before, but never bothered to actually try it.

Wish google had a decent reference for advanced commands... And that they werent randomly deprecated without warning - looking at you, google advanced search parameters.
