I use gmail and they allow you to add a + symbol followed by anything with your email address. For example if your email address is randomaddress@gmail.com you can use randomaddress+producthunt@gmail.com for example. In your inbox you can then filter your emails. This has worked for me when signing up to newsletters so all newsletters appear in a folder but … See more

@designerethan I use a similar system with gmail and "+" myself, but this just seems easier and more trouble-free, especially for websites which ask me for an email address, but I know I'll receive nothing but spam from them.

@designerethan The "+" trick is a really useful method - I use it often. We had the same discussion after coming up with the idea for Throttle, asking if it was worth it. Ultimately, we decided yes. Here's why. Throttle lays a handful of handy features on top (https://throttlehq.com/features), besides making the whole system easier to use. But primarily, I … See more

@alexobenauer Very nice looking service. Similar to unroll.me (which I currently use) but I like the additional features you've built. Being able to provide 'random' anonymous emails when signing up to forms with your extension - and have them all go into one inbox - is the killer feature for sure. Customizable 'categories' to sort emails plus the ability to… See more

@chad_fullerton Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to hear it resonates well with you. On old subscriptions: As you've seen, the "magic" to Throttle is that it ensures any new senders never had your email address in the first place - this is what makes Throttle uniquely airtight at detecting scams and giving you the control to revoke someone's permissio… See more

Thanks for the reply @alexobenauer! That's a good solution for the emails I receive frequently and would like a digest of. For the most part, the emails that I would want in Throttle in the first place (to be able to roll up into a daily digest / unsubscribe from) are those infrequent, randomly sent spammy type promo emails which happen not on a regular basi… See more

@chad_fullerton Love the suggestions, I'd love to do both. We've discussed each quite a bit over the last few months, so I hope you can expect to see them start to materialize this year! And on having thousands of subscriptions - I have the problem, too. But what's really cool now is I can see, in Throttle, all of the things I'm subscribed to, like an RSS r… See more

@designerethan The "+" trick actually works with any kind of email! What's gmail specific is the ability to put a "." anywhere in your username. Also a fun trick to get yourself additional unique emails.

@designerethan I use the gmail trick as well. Recently though, I've been using mlist (which I've found through product hunt) for newsletters.

@designerethan @gmail I've found that some sites won't let you use the + when you're subscribing to things. In those cases, something like Throttle or Bulc Club (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...) would be better.
