Another protip: fastmail lets you alias yourname@yourdomain.com as anything@yourname.yourdomain.com. You can use this feature to create a unique email address for every service you sign up for. This is really handy for filtering to folders, or blocking marketing spam.

If you set up your valid emails as *@yourdomain.com, you can also use unlimited foo/bar/bas@yourdomain.com.
