Many spammers will strip the +xxxx out of the emails anyway to not reveal the source of their data so it doesn't matter too much really.
Fucked up my Costco registration, a variety of other things.
This sort of quasi-pseudonymity is required for basic security/privacy in 2025; It's the only way to get a handle on who's allowed to send you email, since we've never bothered to fix spoofing or impose a cost on spam. I've been trying to use it since Sneakemail was a free service back in the pre-Gmail days.
