Unfortunately many devs try to be smarter and my something+website_name@gmail.com is usually rejected as incorrect :/

Ironically, after many years this is still being rejected as incorrect by the Google Apps admin dashboard for Groups...

This a pain because gmail allows you to append anything you want after the + and it will still reach your inbox.

For example - If your email address is johnsmith@gmail.com you can have mail sent to johnsmith+stopspamming@gmail.com and it will go into your inbox.
