>As for single-purpose email addresses, that only works for cases where the service isn't selling account information, correct?

I don't know how you would tell the difference in that case so I assume yes.

The way I implement this is I bought an entire domain for spam. I created a catchall account and when I sign up for services I can just punch in [email protected] for example. All of this filters into a single email account allowing me to retrieve all my password resets and account confirmations.

This will weird out some people over the phone:

"Yes, it's [email protected]"

"Sir, to look up your account I need YOUR email address"

I do something very similar. I've had a hotel clerk ask me if I worked for them when I told them my name was <hotelchain>@<mydomain>.org
