So, you can do this with gmail already. What’s your pitch on why someone should use Port87 instead of Gmail (besides the obvious Google is evil, etc.)?
A lot of services have stopped accepting + addresses as valid, or even stripping them before saving. So at least for a while, - addresses could be more useful
Last I saw, Google charges for this. More than this guy’s service.
Also, it seems like his service is about automatically having username-category email addresses. Definitely not hard to replicate, but it circumvents the common blocking of plus-signs in email addresses you see nowadays. And while not hard, it’s a bit less trivial to catch any old email with a dash in it and “magically” convert it to a category in the main inbox.

For nerds like us there’s a cool article at https://people.cs.rutgers.edu/~watrous/plus-signs-in-email-addresses.html that covers this in detail.
you can also just buy your own domain and set it up your gmail/whatever as the catchall, then use [email protected]

It is trivial to strip +xyz from all of the email addresses in a list.
Same for -xyz…
Buy a domain, set up a catch-all and use servicename@yourdomain. Boom.
If you read the website they have a workaround. Email sent to the bare address will Be denied and receive an automated response.
