Reply to comment by cesiuum in Everyone Wants Your Email Address. Think Twice Before Sharing It. by 08830

I have my own domain set up with an email wildcard so any address followed by @mydomain.net (not my real domain) goes to my inbox. I set up a new address for every website or email list.

I also have email rules to automatically put email in folders or delete it based on what address they send to (or from).

So not only can I see when my address was leaked or sold, I can easily filter it out when it happens.

Same, but I also use 5 different domains to mix things up even more. I also embed creation dates in them and rotate them every now and then to further narrow down when they were sold/stolen.
