Since a lot of services filter + in email addresses I changed my mail server to accept . instead. Its pretty handy being about to do [email protected] and not have to worry about it being blocked by a poorly created email regex.

I use this technique frequently, it helps people understand my email address better. My non-personal address has [email protected], so I use [email protected] whenever possible.

And yes, I could have camelCased, but non-technical people don't encounter camelcase on a frequent basis.

Found this out via HN the other day. I put a dot between every character in my address and gave it out as a contact method to someone. Their response was basically "Wtf....?"

I prefer to append a tag to the end of the name with a + "[email protected]". helps with tracking who is selling your email address as well.

Co-worker showed me this. It's great for testing web apps - you can have all the types of authentication go back to 1 address.

pretty sure this is as old as gmail itself.

Until Google decides otherwise. ;-)
