For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like [email protected] So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.

Do you send all outgoing email from individualized addresses too?

I do the same as you ([email protected]), but all my outgoing emails come from ([email protected]), it worked great for about 5 years until people with me in their address book started getting hacked.

I can in Thunderbird but I don't reply to companies. They have no reply email adress. Like here is your order number or there is our latest campaign. I use customer chat for help or company have internal message system like banks. In general I like to avoid using email due to the protocol design.
