[email protected] is also a good way to find out. It’s standard and accepted by most sites and most email providers. I use it, didn’t find any proof of service selling my adress except some random Ali express vendor the one and only time I bought here an item I couldn’t find anywhere.

That mechanism is so well known, it’s trivial to undo by removing the +service part. Is it really effective? How would you even find out if it is?

Good point. I'm not sure the bad guys take time to clean the base or even care. But for sure the edgy/grey area one would. Still, i'm more confident about this solution than relay emails from any service (even Firefox) that could potentially lock me out eventually.
