With Gmail (at least) you can use john.smith+46ia0ygd51tw9src@gmail and it will get to you.

Standards say that +-addresses must work this way, and most receiving servers implement this correctly. I actually had more trouble when some sending service failed to send to such an address correctly.
So, at least with gmail, you could implement randomly generated email addresses for logging in.

The question is, does this solve the problem and is it a problem worth solving?
