Are you suggesting buying a new domain for each email address? That could get extremely expensive to maintain.

I bought a single domain @MyEmail.org, and create a new user for each site I sign up with that forwards to my gmail.

1@MyEmail.org, 2@MyEmail.org, 3@MyEmail.org etc...

No. Your case works for a single person but for more people on a single domain, you would want to do,

service1@me.your.domain service1@dad.your.domain

(Instead of me+service1@your.domain)

service2@me.your.domain service2@mom.your.domain

and so on. So, those services have no way of fooling you by tampering with the alias parts.

But of course this isn't easy unless you roll your own mail server.

Thanks for the breakdown. I didn't think about using Sub Domains!
