If you’re like me, you receive hundreds of spam emails every day. I recently discovered a feature called email sub-addressing, which lets you create unique email variations without setting up multiple inboxes, aliases, or forwarders. This makes it ideal for filtering emails for organization and tracking which sites have leaked/sold your email! While sub-addressing doesn’t work on every website due to differing form validations, it generally works well across most platforms. The main thing to remember is to keep track of the specific sub-address you used when signing up, as you’ll need it later for account access!
Examples of sub-addressing using “johndoe@gmail.com”:
johndoe+anything@gmail.com
What also may work but not for every email provider, is “dot ignoring”:
jo.hn.do.e@gmail.com
john.doe@gmail.com
