I want a bulletproof way to give email sub-addresses, since some websites strip out special characters like + and .. I have an idea for how it could work, let’s say my email is TheTwelveYearOld@Reddit.com and I have the following:

  • All emails sent to TheTwelveYearOld@ get blocked
  • I specify a suffix that would be used instead of +, perhaps “From”
  • I whitelist phrases that go after “From”: TheTwelveYearOldFromDoorDash, TheTwelveYearOldFromGoogle, TheTwelveYearOldFromReddit

Are there any services that can do this? I’m thinking I should make my own domain for emails that way my email addresses aren’t tied to any companies and I can easily switch.

    I personally get annoyed, if I take time to craft a response to somebody, and find out they’ve posted in three different places, and other people have already answered it. So I’m giving the warning

    Especially in this case, because in the other thread, somebody already gave what I would consider to be the perfect answer. So no reason that re hash it over
