Subadressing isn't quite as trustworthy, though, since it's trivial to strip the plus tag, or other marks from the email.
That is true. I think spam lists usually have many thousands of addresses though, so unless they’re doing it with a script, they’re probably not stripping the subaddresses.
But a service that lets you use a dash instead of a plus, like Port87, is a bit safer in that regard. The dash is also accepted everywhere, whereas some places (like Microsoft) don’t accept a plus in an email address.
As if they wouldnt deduplicate and sanitize their list.
This is probably a 5min question on Chatgpt and executing it.
