Wait…. It’s Custard, not Carl
Folks, we need to learn to use aliases.
Fastmail has quite nice implementation of this, they call it "masked e-mail", but I bet there are many (perhaps under other names). (Disclaimer: I have no connection to FastMail other than I use their service and like it.)
I've learned to just create new masked email for every domain where i share e-mail -- legit or not. Then you can just disable the alias if it gets annoying. You can also reply to an e-mail you got to the alias without revealing your real address (as long as you do it from FastMail UI).
10 minute mail solves most of this.
For those sites which accept it. Sadly, Slorp was not one of those.
Back when I used to run my own mail server on my own domain, I'd sign up with emails with a username that matched the service I was signing up for, like slorp @ domain. A handful of services would be like "hey we canceled your account because you're using our slorp trademark and impersonating us," which would usually be mildly amusing.
