+1 to Al. (no pun intended for the '+'.) Only this weekend I was trying to help an old colleague with a migration from Gsuite to M365. The #1 complaint... was some of his minions were seemingly crippled by the lack of this function.. and I was thinking err.... aliases? Aliases?
At least I am not alone.... ;o) Richard -----Original Message----- From: Al Iverson <aiver...@wombatmail.com> Sent: 08 February 2021 17:46 To: mailop <mailop@mailop.org> Subject: Re: [mailop] [E] Re: Some Days I think that Gmail isn't even trying to stop outbound spam.. I'm going to go wide (and unpopular) on this one and say that this is just another reason address plussing is crappy. Even the desired use case is very easily exploited. Bad guys can just strip the +tag and then you lose your visibility into where they got the address from. I guess if it's all you've got, so be it. I'm a hypocrite, I guess. I use it sometimes. But I think individual aliases are a much better solution.
