Gmail Disposable Email Addresses

This is a (old but still) great tip to know if you are using Gmail / Google Mail:

You can use custom email addresses postponing a +text to your standard gmail adress before the @.
Example: I can use thierry.dalon+spam@gmail.com


After this you can create a filter/ rule to handle these email. Example Move to Promotions or Spam or add a label "promo" to all incoming emails sent to thierry.dalon+promo@gmail.com

I've used this trick for a site requesting to register to a newsletter to get a discount.
