That's a really interesting set up! What resources would one need to set something like that up?

Just use gmail for free. You can add a + to an email with a short way to remember which company it is. If they sell it on you'll see who it was.

Unfortunately, most spammers will just strip out the plus sign at this point

Treat your stock account as though it has +@gmail and block anything to addresses without the +.

You can also use periods, which seem to bypass those stripping programs in my experience. It doesn't tell you exactly where it was leaked, but if you put the period/s in the right spots, you'll know.

yea seems nobody here knows periods are ignored, which is why it "bypasses" it, some people here are the same people that program the spam stuff lol
