For me fast mail alias for every site I use, and a password manager, mean spam is a problem of the past

Feels great having separation on every site

I do the same with my custom domain with a catch all email-address that end up in one gmail inbox where I have setup specific filters and rules. Everything I don't care about (ex: linkedin@mydomain) goes straight to trash. A few things get marked as read and archived automatically (ex: pge@mydomain)

How does this reduce spam? All it tells you is which site sold or leaked your information to the spammer.

You can remove the alias later, email to that address will bounce. I do the same with my own domain on postfix/dovecot.

Just delete the alias once you see any rubbish hit your inbox

Honestly with 100 sites I've maybe had to delete 1 or 2 so its very low effort
