One particular feature..
Delimiters: You can use delimiters (plus sign, "+") in your
email address to create sub-addresses, like
username+whatever@disroot.org, for example for filtering and
tracking spam. Example: david@disroot.org can set up mail
addresses like 'david+bank@disroot.org' that he could give to
his bank. It can be used only to receive emails, not to send
ones. Your emails will always be sent as david@disroot.org.

And Synchronet, using '#' as the delimiter.

well, can you add the period? i'm sure a lot of web forms would reject the plus symbol and octothrope.
i used to use the plus sign with gmail and it would get rejected frequently.No, period is already synonymous with white-space, which is ignored in the "user" portion of Synchronet mail addresses. So yeah, you can be mr.o@yourbbs, but you can't also be mro.bank@yourbbs unless you set up a specific alias. But mro#bank@yourbbs needs not pre-setup.

Dunno about your synchbbs support, but there is also the
everpopular comment in the local part of the an email address:
mro(the grumpy guy)@somewhere.com
That can be handy sometimes.

It COULD be precluded by the restrictions of the mailer you are
using. Works fine in MS Outlook and my TB.
I will send test messages to the addresses you show in your
screenshot.
What provider allows this? i cant find one that accepts it.

i just wish we could use periods because that would be the
best way. i am running my own server with synchronet so i
can just do aliases.

The (comment) trick works TO my gmail account, but NOT going
out. Gmail is half-baked in that regard. My main email
provider is Globat and/or Netfirms. But they support the
(comment) on the outbound and inbound too.

okay i found the gmail one. your method wont be accepted
for what i use the delimiters for, though. i usually use it
on webforms so i can later block spammers.
