You can even do more than that.

I have different categories per services: paid services go to @paid.mydomain.tld, social logins go to @social.mydomain.tld etc. So that means something like [email protected] or [email protected].

Edit: using Route53 for DNS subdomain wildcard.

Any specific reason to do this over the usual way ([email protected], [email protected])? How are you benefitting from the extra hierarchy?

I imagine it's for easier management of rules used to file email from certain accounts into folders.
