Coinbase user emails and full names leaked

Re:Coinbase user emails and full names leaked by reverend_gonzo on Tuesday April 01, 2014 @11:01AM (#7508699)

I've used sneakemail for a number of years. With their paid account ($12/yr, I think), it lets you create emails on the fly with a specific pattern.

For example:

[email protected]

That gets forwarded to your actual email address, and you can see how it was tagged. If needed, you can whitelist/blacklist specific senders from specific tags as well.

Never heard of them before. Do they have any benefit over Spam Gourmet? (which I use occasionally, and is free)

I've never heard of Spam Gourmet. I've been using Sneakemail for the past 10-15 years. Since it's so cheap, and it's worked well enough, I just haven't bothered looking at anything else.

With any standards compliant email server you can use "+whatever" in the username and the email should get to you: [email protected].

"+" is valid in the left-hand side portion and Postfix uses it (by default) as the separator to provide this feature but other mail systems (Qmail and, IIRC, Courier) use "-".

That functionality is not an RFC requirement, however.

I believe that totally depends on the mail server. If there is an actual standard for that, please do point me to it.
