You can append to your existing e-mail address in various ways, and this could be pretty useful for seeing who leaked your e-mail address to spammers. For example, for your bank, give them the address [email protected]. Then, if spammers send to that address, you can quickly see where they got the e-mail address from!
I’ve tested it with Proton Mail, and it works in exactly the same way.

I didn’t know about this until now.
Sorry for you both. It wasn’t meant personally, but more in general, because so many people don’t know about that feature.
Ok, it’s not advertised very much, either.
