      I always give “companyname@personaldomain.com”

      That way datasets are harder to correlate and I know who leaked 😝

        That’s what I’ve been doing since 2002. If I get spam, I set up a forward to their customer service.

          Lol! I need to start doing something like this when one of those email addresses eventually ends up in a breach. :D

            Be wary though, it might get your domain blacklisted for spam. I’ve been lucky so far.

              Good to know! Thanks for the warning. c: My default course of action will likely be just disabling the old alias and making a new one.
