With Gmail you can add a plus to the end of your email address followed by a label I.E. example+label@gmail.com. This works the same as your regular email but you can use the plus label to filter or automatically delete mails. It's also useful when you don't trust a company to add the company name after the plus to see of they sell your email to third parties.

it is good to know, that these labels are totally unknown to those email address dealers/buyers, so that they cannot just automatically remove all +* local parts for those rare google domain emails no one knows about !!
