Unlimited Email Addresses - Plus Addressing

Created by Kevin Schmidt - HCPro, Modified on Thu, 9 Oct at 3:07 AM by Kevin Schmidt - HCPro

Microsoft Exchange online, hosting provider for @ahima.org, supports Plus Addressing (sub-addressing). This gives you access to unlimited email addresses based off your one single email account.

To use plus addressing, add a “+” after your name, followed by anything, it will still get delivered to your inbox.

SAMPLES:
will+extra@example.com will go to will@example.com
kim.house+newsletter@example.com will go to kim.house@example.com
steve+august2014@example.com will go to steve@example.com
jane.doe+testing@ahima.org will go to me at jane.doe@ahima.org


This feature can be used to help automatically filter email into folders/labels or as a method of providing a unique email to every site to determine which services are selling email address to spammers.

Use Plus Addressing for Testing
Rather than jump through hoops creating all sorts of dummy email addresses, or aliases to your Google Apps users, use plus addressing. Use test addresses like:
will+hubtest1@example.com



DID YOU KNOW: Other service providers that support plus addressing: Gmail, Yahoo, Apple iCloud, Outlook.com
