I've been seeing email that's not directly addressed to me land up in my inbox.
My email is something#domain.com, the emails that are delivered are like something+anything#domain.com. After seeing these, I tried other suffixes after the + symbol and all of them land up in my inbox. Does anyone know why that is the case? What happens if someone else registers one of the addresses like something+1#domain.com.
I saw this reliably work for both gmail and outlook, I'm curious to know why that is the case? Is there is a technical reason why mailservers drop off these suffixes.
I'm not sure if StackOverflow is the best place for this question, please move this to another site on the network which may be a better fit if that is the case.
This is called sub-addressing. + part is treated for filtering and all.You can read about it on wiki with page title Email Address.
Also known as plus addressing ortagged addressing. Some mail services support a tag appended to the local part, such that the modified address is an alias to the unmodified address. For example, the address joeuser+tag#example.com denotes the same delivery address asjoeuser#example.com.

I want to make links for people to email me in github pages but I don't want them to know my actual email. I noticed that username#github.com may be a valid email address. But when I tried emailing that address, I got this:
How do I modify the organisational settings to allow users to email me in Github. If not possible, how do I set up an email for my github page such that it becomes email#azlancoding.github.io
GitHub doesn't provide email address services for users. The domain github.com is used for GitHub staff and company usage, and GitHub doesn't offer email for github.io domains, either. Email is a service that requires extensive abuse management, both incoming and outgoing, and most sites don't want to provide that service as a result.
You can always set up an additional account, either on your own domain or elsewhere, that forwards to your real account. How to do that is probably more on topic for SuperUser, assuming you're setting up the software yourself.

redirect all incoming e-mail on domain to one specific e-mail address
I have a domain: example.com
and one e-mail: info#example.com
i would like to receive all e-mail what it got in my domain:
example#example.com
nospam#example.com
asdasdasd#example.com
[any random character]#example.com
I don`t want to create these e-mails one by one.
I`am using gmail (apps.google.com)
btw: my main goal to have different e-mail for different website and example+slug#example.com trick is not working because lots of website filter + letter.
This may work for you. Don't create the accounts, just set the catchall

I'm currently on the phone with IBM and they can't seem to provide an answer. I've also searched on Google, but nothing is very clear. All I'm trying to do is automatically cc: myself on every single email I send.
I can't remember exactly where it is in Outlook nor what it is exactly called, but in Outlook I remember it was as simple as checkmarking a "automatically cc: myself" field in some preferences window.
Thank you much in advance.
Why do you want to cc: yourself on every email? You have your sent folder, you can view them there.
But if you really want to send a copy to yourself you can just modify the mail application, assuming you have design access to it. You also need to turn off the nightly update of your mail application from the design template on the server.
But there is not built-in setting to do it.
Update: Since the reason was disclosed to be a way to use emails as a kind of to-do list, my suggestion is to use flags and follow-ups.

I have been changing my mailing addresses from "example.com" to sub domains - say "mail.example.com" to configure no-reply addresses there. I use "sendmail -f noreply#mail.example.com" to send emails making sur ethe Return-Path is correct. My mail delivery chain looks as follows:
SENDING SERVER --> relay_server --> gateway out
For unknown to me reason when my email reaches the gateway that sends out, I see that the "from" address is already altered in the postfix log file to "noreply#example.com". This is also what I see in the detailed message log when it reaches its destination.
I have seen similar topics over here, but I made a step ahead and checked that I use the "-f" sendmail switch.
Any clues?
After the entire weekend of troubleshooting this I eventually found the reason:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#masquerade_domains
plus restart of all postfix-related deamons (postfix, dkim and all that) helped.

I am trying to embed a survey into an email (outlook 2007). When they complete the survey the answers are stored somewhere I can manage (Like the use of forms in Google drive).
I have tried creating a custom form, I do not have access to the organizational form library.
I have tried using the voting system inbuilt in out look which would work if only multiple answers could be selected rather than just 1.
The Google forms does exactly what I need, I just have to use outlook.
I'm hoping I am just missing something because I cannot see a way to do this.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think this will work. Check out the list at the bottom of this page: https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/will-it-work/forms/
Edit: From the same article:
Given the sporadic support for forms in emails, we recommend linking
to a form on a website rather than embedding it in the email. This is
the safest, most reliable solution to pairing an email message with a
form. More people will see it and be able to use it, and as a result
participation will increase.
