a suffix on your username when giving people your email address, and the suffix will be ignored. This means you could give out username+suffix1@wlug.org.nz as your email address to one person, and username+suffix2@wlug.org.nz to another person. The "+"
and anything after
it will be ignored when delivering mail
, so it will all go into your inbox. This makes it easy to filter your incoming mail
, and see who is giving your address
