Title: For 10 years I&#x27;ve been using a custom email for every retailer I shop at that asks for an email address, always in the form of &quot;company@mydomain.com&quot;. I did not keep track of how many custom emails I used (hundreds, easily), but I have received spam from exactly zero of these accounts.<p>The only account that I received is one I used on my public website as a &quot;mailto:&quot; link. 100% of my spam comes from this address. I host on runbox.com.<p>Is the fear of &quot;people selling your email to spammers&quot; a modern myth, or are spam filters that good?<p>I would argue the former since I still get 30 spam emails a day from my website email address, and zero from companies that ask for them.
