Maybe not here, but.

The convention has existed almost as long as there's been sendmail, and

is available in postfix too.  This is handy to direct incoming email

into different boxes, and makes it possible to narrow down who leaked

your email address.



Indeed: I use it for my subscription to mailop as you can see.



UNFORTUNATELY, many web sites outright refuse to accept "+" as a valid

character in an email LHS, despite the fact that the RFC's permit it.



In fact, I've run into occasions where the "new user" function permits

it, but logging in and/or password change *don't*.  Worse was one that

entirely disabled it long after I've been using it successfully, routinely.



Sometimes significant ones with paid subscriptions/services.  Pain in

the ass they are.



It's useful, but be aware that some sites screw it up.  Some relatively

major ones.
