Stay tuned I have a pretty cool project I plan on launching very soon. It takes the email alias to the next level, using them as meta tags to actually allow users to trace the source of shady data exchanges. I'm working on the guide and I'm hoping to actually start a community effort here to hold companies accountable for responsible use of PII

I'm interested. How does it differ from using:

[e-mail] or [e-mail]

...to figure out where the spam originated?

Just be aware that this may be very confusing to customer support agents: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32475178

Everybody knows name+something@ maps to name@ so it’s trivial for bad actors to strip the plus part and just spam you directly, losing the per-correspondent distinction.

In the latter specifically it doesn't differ except for the specific methodology and what we do with the results.
