with gmail you can do something similar without all that hassle. lets say your email is johndoe@gmail.com you can register any email as johndoe+whatever@gmail.com and Gmail will always ignore the + and route to your johndoe@gmail.com address.

I'm sure anyone selling their user's email addresses will o know about this and strip out the + suffix from any gmail addresses in their list.
Some websites consider email addresses containing "+" as invalid.
