@rbos@mastodon.novylen.net I pre-generated a thousand email addresses, registered them with my email provider, and loaded them into my password manager. They're ready to go for new accounts with a simple rename.
The whole "tagging" thing with Gmail is one of those theoretical things I know about but have never done.

@ericphelps@mastodon.social That is a delightfully over-engineered solution and it definitely works well. Tagged addresses are going to be inferior but much simpler. Also spammers would be looking for tagged addresses. As to how, just add +string to the username of a Gmail address. It'll go to your main box. Easy to filter if needed. Many email servers support that syntax. Others like qmail use -string.
