Here’s a handy tip.

Imagine the scenario.. you’re online and a site wants your email address to email you something. You don’t want to really give your address because it’s possible the data will be sold or passed on. Wat do?

Append a plus (“+”) sign and any combination of words or numbers after your email address.

For example, if your email address is bob.smith@test.com, and you book tickets on say, a travel website, enter your email address as bob.smith+shitty_travel@test.com. You will receive your email/tickets etc. as usual, but now you can filter it and also, more importantly, see where spamming mail has come from if you suddenly get unrelated mail with the same target address. Noice.
