Good points. But my main complaint about + addressing was as Brandon mentioned - For some damn reason, lots and lots of sites out there refuse to accept an email address with a + symbol in it. I don't know who wrote an email validation library or function or something that didn't actually read the RFC for email allowed characters, but some idiot did, and then that function got deployed all over the awesome Internet. But as you said, + addressing doesn't actually address the problem anyway. And the point of the OP was just to say: * Home Depot apologized for the breach, and informed me about the extent of breach (no credit card info, etc was stolen) * Box and Citizens denied that any breach occurred, which instantly destroyed any respect I had for their security _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
