Possibly these validators are working exactly as intended and don't want you to know which service sold your email to spammers.

Then again maybe spammers are smart enough to strip of the + from email lists they purchase.

The latter was motivation to get my own domain so I can have unlimited unique addresses with a wildcard entry.

I never get spam that makes it through the default filter, so I am unsure if this works, but I do get zero spam in general since switching off gmail. I like giving silly businesses that ask for my email their business name @ my domain.

Most of the time they're too disinterested to notice. Oil change places always notice for some reason.

I'll look through my spam foldsr tomorrow and see who's been naughty.
