Use your domain for your primary email address, have some regrets about it, but never be able to walk away..
That's what I do. Anytime I need to sign up for something with an email I do:
I use wildcards for some stuff, but I mostly just use [email protected] and have my real email for friends and family private. It's not liked I get emails from friends and family anymore anyway. Everything is iMessage or SMS.
I’ll send you an email. $12
Same. Crazy obvious which companies are getting hacked or selling my info.
I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.
[email protected]
Now if I get a spam email to that address I'll know exactly what to block.
I am amazed at how often that gets considered an invalid email.
