Recommended. By google, who just played loosely with the email-spec.

How rich.

? You can store e-mail messages based on the local part of the address however you want. It's basically just an alias.
Yes, I know that. And as I mentioned, companies are still rejecting these addresses anyway because they know people are using them to identify and filter spam.
This is why I use a catch-all on my own domain with a blacklist for companies found sharing or leaking the email address I gave to them. Fastmail makes this really easy to set up and their web interface also lets you set the From address to anything on the domain.
