Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.

Not sure if you also do aliases as well but I’ve seen an increase in websites flagging providers like addy.io as well. Extremely annoying that so many websites think they are so important that they refuse an alias.

@traxex
@ooterness

migadu has a cool workaround.

instead of:
alias+user@domain.tld

you give:
alias@user.domain.tld

then internally it transforms it to an alias when it comes in.
