I haven't gone through the source of this very closely.
Receiving E-Mails without giving your real address
Sometimes you want to use your GMail address on a website, but you fear you will get a lot of SPAM afterwards coming from that website.
So instead of creating another address just for those kind of websites, you can very easily alter your address.
if your address is my.name@gmail.com, enter on the website my.name+spamers@gmail.com. We will still receive every e-mail, but if the website do send you a lot of SPAMs, you can create a filter for every message sent to this address (my.name+spamers@gmail.com) to go directly in the trash !
Hints
* You can create as many alternative addresses as you want
* It is preferable to create one address per website : my.name+amazon@gmail.com, my.name+ebay@gmail.com ...
* There is no need to create the alternative address before using it. Everything you put after the "+" won't be taken in consideration by GMail. So just give it on a website and it will work !
