Can't you use [e-mail]? I thought gmail strips whatever comes after the dot. (I don't have a google account, so I could be wrong or maybe it was a different character, but I remember reading about it a couple times on here.)

I believe it strips everything after a "+" so you can use [e-mail].

It ignores periods so you could also use [e-mail] or [e-mail] or whatever.

Some sides block plus addressing but that's what I use a lot of the time.

You're thinking of the + character. [e-mail] will still be delivered to you.

Gmail ignores dot characters. [e-mail] is equivalent to [e-mail]

I think you mean

[e-mail]

From my experience, many (bad) websites consider "+" an invalid character and prevent you from using the address in this form.

Smart spammers can just strip the service name since it works the same for all Gmail users.

Really need dedicated addresses like Fastmail's Masked Addresses.

It's "+". The dot is, in fact, transparent.

After the +, not the dot
