    make an email for different things, such as one for subscriptions, one for things like this, one for professional use, etc. it’s annoying but also helps 🤷🏻 i hate that we’re at this point lol

      I just auto tag using the term “unsubscribe”. It tags as “automated/spam” unless another filter such as banking, games, or in contacts triggers

      My trick is that I use a domain name I’ve bought for my personal emails which is a catch-all address, and I sign up to websites with “(websitename)login@domain.url”, so I’m assuming I’ll know who the culprit is when the time comes and I can do something about it with relative ease. I don’t know if that’s actually smart or not but I’ll see how I get on.

        I do the same and use simple login as a service to manage the emails. They all get forwarded to a single mailbox, but I can easily activate/deactivate individual addresses. Also, I have all incoming addresses blacklisted by default, unless they match a particular regex. That way, I can create new email addresses as needed without needing to pull any levers, but im still protected against someone spamming my domain (unless they figure out my regex)
