I use user+tag addresses with some frequency, and I have not noted any
particular problems with them. + is a legal character in an address,
and only the end-host mailer must make the distinction as to whether
or not the tag following the + is significant; I know that sendmail
and postfix both do. I'm not sure this is a good long-term solution
(it seems that expiring or otherwise invalidated keys should be
gracefully accounted for; opencm has this same problem), but it's
certainly workable stopgap.
