Tagged addresses, temporary addresses, etc. All work well for a bit.
Until your real email address gets out there.
Not necessarily. People on this forum complain about spammers
not using real e-mail addresses because it's so easy to use fake ones.
Well, maybe *nobody* should have a "real" e-mail address. We only
ever give out ephemeral addresses, that could be locked to a particular
sender, time-limited, etc.
Only your server knows your "real" address. And it bounces mail sent
to that address; it only accepts mail for ephemeral addresses.
Web pages for contact info generate ephemeral addresses when they're
rendered.
When you print business cards, the printer uses a different ephemeral
address on each card. (OK, this last is a hassle, but not insurmountable.)
There are a lot of silly implementation and book-keeping details, but
no fundamental reasons why this wouldn't work.
