Loads of handy tips & tricks my favorite being the following:
Receiving E-Mails without giving your real address
Sometimes you want to use your GMail address on a website, but you fear you will get a lot of SPAM afterwards coming from that website. So instead of creating another address just for those kind of websites, you can very easily alter your address. if your address is [email protected], enter on the website [email protected]. We will still receive every e-mail, but if the website do send you a lot of SPAMs, you can create a filter for every message sent to this address ([email protected]) to go directly in the trash !

That’s dumb, a crawler can be programed to ignore anything after the + and spam directly.
I dont think its meant to be used like that. I think its meant to be used to filter incoming emails. Like for my amazon account i would use [email protected] while for my cnn account i could use [email protected] etc..
then i can set up a filter in gmail which will label my emails according to what email they sent it to. if i find out that cnn is spamming me i will just have the filter automatically dump it in the trash.
isnt it spelt with two m’s? spammers?
