You can add extra periods, but not extra text/labels

Some people get around this by using the plus sign, but how some systems treat plus signs can be unpredictable.

It still all just goes to your inbox. It won't put it in a label for you, you can't control whether you get push notifications per address, and it won't autorespond with a challenge on ones meant for real people.
