the gmail form of alias is stupid, others allow you to create a complete alias@yourdomain.com, it would be nice if gmail offered this, as it is there’s no way in hell i’d use gmail alias

I guess, plus method might not stop spam at all…. because, when more people will use it, the spammers would obviously find out and extact out the genuine email id.
this is something like finding emails of people from yahoo groups pages….. as simple as that.

Gmail’s plus-addressing doesn’t seem to work any more, can someone confirm that? I always get an “Delivery Status Notification (Failure)” reply.

If a website has figured out the plusses and doesn’t allow them, you can also put periods in your address. My address is swimmer618@gmail.com, but a filter puts anything that goes to swimmer.618@gmail.com in the trash.

Dave says:

Not really an issue, but it would seem you can’t send mail to yourself using this method!

Hmmm, that’s not entirely true. The message DOES get delivered to you, it just does not end up in your Inbox–it is viewable using the All Mail view. When someone else sends you “plus” addressed email, ot does show up in your Inbox.

A practical use for sending YOURSELF a “plus” email is to use a Filter to apply a specific Label to the message. For example, I have a Label called “Notes” and a Filter set up such that whenever a message is addressed to my.address+notes@gmail.com (sent by me or anyone) it gets auto-Labeled “Notes” and bypasses the Inbox. That way, I can save notes and tidbits of information whenever I want. I also set up a Contact called “Notes” with my “+notes” address, so when I compose a message, I just type “Notes” into the address line and Gmail auto-fills in the rest.

And it would be complete if you could also reply with an “plus”-address.

Now you get an email on thijs+boo@gmail.com and the standard reply-to address is thijs@gmail.com
