Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases? (lemmy.world)

That's a use case for aliases, catching if any company or service gives out your email to be abused by advertisers and whatnot. I tried looking for stories but didn't find any, I wonder if you have any to share.
