I've read that I should use email subaddressing when registering for web sites. For example, if my email address is [email protected]
, then, when registering for somesite.com
, I should use the email address [email protected]
.
How effective is this at controlling annoying emails from somesite.com
(or, in the extreme, outright spam)? What is to prevent somesite.com
from stripping the +somesite
tag and sending directly to [email protected]
? Is email subaddressing something that I should bother to use, or are the benefits limited?
