Three ways to work around this if you actually suspect it:
1) Instead of using + (which some sites incorrectly reject as invalid), don't use a separator at all. For instance, [email protected] . (This assumes you have a bit more control over email aliases.)
2) Don't use a modification of your standard email address; make the version without the site name still different than your standard email address. For instance, if your usual email is [email protected], then instead of using [email protected], use [email protected].
3) If you run your own domain, don't bother including a unique component before the @ at all. Just use [email protected].
