So i've set up a custom domain to use with protonmail and was curious if anyone else uses the catch all in this manner.

I was thinking that when a new account is created on $website I would use a custom email address that would then be caught by the 'catch-all'. So say the domain is catata.fish, and the website is target.com, then when signing up I would use target@catata.fish. Previously when using gmail I would use email+target@gmail.com.

Does anyone see any issues doing it this way? Thanks!

Makes sense. I’m not too worried about privacy in that regard considering bad actors are going to do what they do. This was more for the automated systems, plus I don’t see how it would be any less privacy focused than just a standard email + aliases.
