So i’ve set up a custom domain to use with protonmail and was curious if anyone else uses the catch all in this manner.
I was thinking that when a new account is created on $website I would use a custom email address that would then be caught by the ‘catch-all’. So say the domain is catata.fish, and the website is target.com, then when signing up I would use target@catata.fish. Previously when using gmail I would use email+target@gmail.com.
Does anyone see any issues doing it this way? Thanks!
You can’t. It is not an official alias. That is the point. So they will be seen as separate accounts.
But I forward everything to he same account. Have to configure it for every email address. This way I keep a whitelist.

huh, I never knew you could use delimiters other than +. That is a good thing to know.
I think I’ll just stick with using aliases with a delimiter.
