Tried this in person once when signing up to the companies club or a discount. Once.

I do this all the time, albeit with a qmail x-foo@ alias, and just straight up own it - "I sort my email so I can tell who sells my address". I've never really had a problem.

Once tried to explain to Rapid7 (a security company no less) they had leaked/sold my email address, as per the system you describe.

Couldn't get through to anyone that understood.
