One of the benefits of running your own mail server, is I can (on the fly) assign custom email addresses for my account. So I have a username.att@domain.com for my ATT accound. In the past 2 months I now regularly get phishing emails sent to my ATT email....

You can also do this with most(?) email providers by appending a +name like freetx+att@gmail.com. Some apps probably don’t allow this, but many do

wow, thanks. just tested with my gmail and it worked. but what to do with such single-use emails? report to the police everyone who sold/leaked my email address? I doubt they care.

It’s more for awareness so you know who leaked your info
