▲ 38 ▼ Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world to c/privacy@lemmy.ml 12 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.

Several years now with over 220 aliases and none sold/stolen that I've caught. That said, some may have ended up in the spam folder without me ever noticing. permalink fedilink source parent
