It's really useful to me.

I have a filter for messages to: m.y.g.m.a.i.l@gmail.com

which marks the message read and moves it out of my inbox.

This is the address I give out to companies whose correspondences I don't care to read generally but don't necessarily want to go directly to the trash.

You can also use + suffixes, which allows you to label.the address.

Scott+newslettername@Gmail.com for example.

Assuming the crappy regex on the form will accept it.. :( It's better now, but I still fail about 20% of the time.
Similarly, I give out period-wise permutations.
