You can even do more than that.

I have different categories per services: paid services go to @paid.mydomain.tld, social logins go to @social.mydomain.tld etc. So that means something like paypal@paid.mydomain.tld or twitter@social.mydomain.tld.

Edit: using Route53 for DNS subdomain wildcard.

Any specific reason to do this over the usual way (paypal@mydomain.tld, twitter@mydomain.tld)? How are you benefitting from the extra hierarchy?

I imagine it's for easier management of rules used to file email from certain accounts into folders.
