My email spam went from 50 a day to almost zero after one simple change

I finally set up a unique email alias for every online account I have, like 'shopping-site@mydomain.com'. It took about a weekend to switch everything over. Now when a company sells my address, I see exactly who did it and can block just that alias. Has anyone else tried this method?

Yeah, that's the only way to do it. Makes you wonder why email providers don't just build this in, right?

Actually, they kinda do. Most email services have filters and rules you can set up yourself. It's just buried in settings so people don't find it easily.
