Side note: I've seen some MTA systems having weird filters for receiver's domain name or company name being part of sender's local-part.

When I'm opening an account at Example Bank which uses example.com domain, I avoid creating dedicated mailbox or alias with words "example" and "bank". exmplbnk@, xmplbnk1234@ or similar seems to have better deliverability when I'm attempting to contact the other side.

Likely to help cut down on phishing.
