Hide information in your email addressTag(s): Misc Prog HowTo


You can use an address like this:
    real+tag@mycompany.com
the mail will still be delivered to
    real@mycompany.com
but the presence of the -tag will tell where your address is coming from!

For example, when posting to Usenet, you can use

    real+usenet@mycompany.com
and if you receive SPAM using that address, you can be sure that the SPAMMER got your address by parsing Usenet postings!
