I can pull mail addresses out of thin air.
My mailer knows about
local_part_suffix = +* : -*
local_part_suffix_optionalso you can mail to
kris@..., but also tokris+keks@...orkris-keks@...They will all go to the
krisuser account,and there will beX-local-part-suffix: keksset for any mail tokris-keks@....Of course, I don't want all of that in my inbox.

* ^X-local-part-suffix:.*kris-\/[^@]+
$MAILDIR/.special.`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's!([^)]*)!!g' -e 's![^a-zA-Z0-9_-]!_!g' | tr A-Z a-z`/The what:
Anything that matches
X-local-part-suffix: kris-something@... will be caught by that rule.We take
somethingfrom the rule, lowercase it, and replace all catacters that are not letters or numbers or _ or - with a _. We then push that into the folderINBOX/special/keksSo mail to
kris-keks@...goes to the folderINBOX/special/keks. If it doesn't exist we create it. -

But the folder is indicated at the top right.
So I have a github mail in a github folder – likely legit.
Now, a bank mail that is in a supermarket folder – that's fishy. Without even opening it I know I can delete it.

I just create/use any local part I want (often with the name or url of the service I want to use) and then forget about it as I won't get many mails for it. I only add filter rules if they get hacked or sold their data to spammers (and it's interesting to see which email address gets used for what spam ;-).

Yeah, about that US immigration requirement.
"List all your mail addresses"
How many lines does that form have?
$ ls -ld Maildir/.special* | wc -l
2369Because I have a spreadsheet for you.
