You can do this with Gmail! You just add + after your username and then create something unique (they call it a label, i.e. adding a label to your e-mail address). For example, say you have the e-mail address
[email protected] and you want to create an account on spammersRus.com you can use
[email protected] and the e-mail would still go straight to your
[email protected] account. You can add filters to auto delete e-mails or send them to a different folder (etc).
This works with all gmail accounts, including private domains on Gmail for business.
This method is really useful to know where you are getting spam from. Say you sign up for 100 websites and use this exact method (
[email protected], for example), if I start to get spam in a year and they are being sent to
[email protected] I know Foxy/Linz are responsible for spamming me rather than the other other 99 websites who I also signed up for! (I know such a thing would never happen, but you see how this works, right?).
