Too many sites disallow the + thing. It's not a great solution.

Sendmail and postfix both allow you to configure that. I have my mail set up so '+', '.', and '_' all work the same. I've never seen any site deny the '.' or '_' character.

If you run your own mail server, you can simply catch-all. The + trick is for the rest.
