   @androidarts Thanks, but I'm talking about people using my email address to sign up for stuff.

     @downey In Gmail I just add signup spam addresses to the filter setting (checking delete). They can be stringed together using e.g. @ blablabla .com OR @ blublehbla .com OR ...
     Unfortunately * wildcard doesn't work but omitting what's before the @ seems fine.

     Dear devs,

     It's NEVER ok to create accounts for a webapp that require an email address, unless you validate that address first.?

     Every week, I get someone signing up for some kind of site with my email address without my consent.

     And most of those sites make it difficult if not nearly impossible to stop their transactional #email.

     :boost_love: Please boost for basic education.
