[Outages-discussion] AmEx Phishing to Outages Email Address

[Paul M - outages]

I ALWAYS use a unique email address for every signup.

Where possible, I use paul+nameofthing@ and let google strip the + and
everything after. Some services won't accept a + and so I have an catchall
and account and then use paul-nameofthing and detect the "paul" in the
email and forward that to my main mailbox. Works well. I used to see a lot
of spam sent to addresses which could only have been leaked by large
corporations, not so much now. I can then block addresses which have
leaked. I use the recipient email address to automatically tag and filter
emails.

Email which goes directly to me is tagged specifically as direct-to-me.
This makes it it much easier to read the important stuff from friends, as
opposed to, say, special offers sent to paul+hotels@
