Even better if you run your own mail server, have it use . as the suffix character instead of + e.g. you+comcast@domain.com becomes you.comcast@domain.com

This evades sites that filter on +'s and spammers that strip them out to anonymize their list. Also if they strip out the dots to further anonymize it, they just create invalid email addresses.

Admittedly this only works because not everyone does it.
