At that point, just get a custom domain with a catch-all email system. Any emails sent to the @[domain] address will hit your inbox, so you can do things like Target@[domain] and Walmart@[domain]. Then if you start getting spam from one of those, you know who leaked it and you can filter them into spam. All without needing to go through the hassle of creating a new email address.
Hell, my password generator (Bitwarden) even has the option to create custom usernames for a catch-all system. It can either do them randomly (like the passwords) or pull them from whatever site I’m making the account on. So like it’ll pull the site’s title and use that as the e-mail address, then append the @[domain] to the end automatically.
This is exactly what I need to do. I have a custom domain attached to Protonmail. I’ve been using duck duck go for aliases with Bitwarden but this solution sounds perfect. I always wondered what that catch all option meant.
I create a new email for each new sign up so I immediately know who leaked it. If spam is coming I can close it
