The "+" is not limited to Gmail, it's standard. The problem is many services with fancy mail validation don't accept it.

Does Gmail allow sending from the + addresses? There's quite an issue if somebody contacts you on that address but you reply without the alias.

They do allow it, but it’s a pain to set up for each + address, especially on iOS.

I have not find a way to send email from Gmail, using either the web interface of their SMTP server, from a custom username (left side of @ symbol). I have a custom domain using Google Apps, but to send mail I use a third party SMTP server to customize the username portion of the From field.

I've never had an issue using a different email for support, I always mention that I own the domain or email suffix and they can verify that if they want to (though nobody has so far).
