Yeah I do the same thing with FastMail - its awesome.

Here is a recent story where this came in handy.

I recently had a spam phone call from someone fishing for personal information, using a 'survey' as cover. During the call I learned that they had my email address as 'ledger@xxxx.xxx'. This must have come from the Ledger data breach (https://www.ledger.com/message-ledgers-ceo-data-leak). This made the call even more nefarious than I originally thought... nothing I can do, they have that email address and my personal number. Just made me more aware of what is going on.

That’s terrifying.
