Yes, I've always done this. The other downside is that the anti-spam laws were not designed to protect people in this mode: You can only unsub one address at a time, not a whole domain. Automation can help that, but it is a pain.
Email clients are spotty on multiple identity support. Thunderbird supports many accounts and identities, but it can get a little confused sometimes. The biggest bug gotcha is that when you resume a draft, it will often choose a random from identity. I've accidentally mixed up realms in ways I seriously did not intend. I try to address check every message. I've been meaning to dig into Thunderbird to fix it, but low on my priority list. sdw On 10/3/16 2:59 PM, z...@freedbms.net wrote: > For those not yet familiar with the convenience and utility of email > catch-all domains, they provides very convenient "canary" flagging of > who sold your email address to a third party marketer. > > I.e., when you make a purchase at ebaysmells.com, and your email address > is for example ebaysmells....@myfunkydomain.me, then when, some months > later you receive an email from Zhing Wha Good Electronics $2 sale, and > that email is sent to ebaysmells....@myfunkydomain.me, you can have a > fair idea that either ebaysmells.com, or the shop/person you made your > original purchase from, is attempting to make opportunistic use of your > email address. > > There are a couple issues with this feature however, which are mostly > evident to anyone who uses them: > > - When you are legimitely emailed from the web shop, news media provider > or other, then one wants or often enough actually needs, to reply to > the sender using as a From address, the To address they used to email > you.
