I've been using simple vendor-specific aliases e.g. $VENDOR.$MyInitials@fastmail.com, or a shared spam bucket alias.

Can you remind us how fastmail's subdomains, and "masked emails" are an improvement?

1. it allows associating a description with the address, which could contain any annotation information you'd like

2. it has a handy delete option, for severing the relationship

3. when they do arrive in the inbox, it shows the annotation instead of the address because no sane person could remember what battery.horse.staple@fastmail corresponds to
