Very cool trick! Wonder if Europe has this as well.

For email I use <site>JGM.io (my own domain). If I see that address being used elsewhere I know who's being a bad boy




Gmail let's you add tags to your email like firstnamelastname+linkedin@gmail.com. This is really useful for such purposes.


That is true, but is also blocked by many sites. No such thing can happen to a custom domain.


Do you have an example of a site that blocks this? I don’t use gmail anymore but used this trick for many years and wasn’t blocked once.


I would have thought most everybody serious about exploiting your data would be rewriting this type of email at this point.
