plussing

e-mail messages addressing John.Doe+MailingListName@gmail.com are meant to actually go to JohnDoe@gmail.com, in other words:

  • . characters actually get removed for computing the real mail box,

  • everything starting the + character and going to the @ character (not including the latter) gets removed entirely.

On the recipient side, software can check on plussing and may come to decisions based on the string between the + and the @.

Yes, gmail does support plussing, GMX does not.

On my domains I have a catch-all rule for e-mail forwarding aliases, and on those computers, where I receive e-mail, procmail rules help me with the checks.

spam

There is an O'Reilly book on spam [34], pls have a look at their categorization of spam! Of course, spam and mastering messages from mailing lists where my main reasons for starting with mail filtering rules. Whenever I can employ procmail I do so, whenever I only have IMAP access to mailboxes, I employ my own mail filtering software written in python.
