I don't think this is in the domain side, I think it's in the address
side. From what I've seen in the forum site registration (which accepts
a plus sign), lots of people are using things like
"myname+somesite at mydomain.com" now as a means of trapping spam. Their
ISP ignores whatever's after the "+" and delivers the email to them, and
then they can see who has spammed their name...
I can just tell him "we're looking into it" for now.
