> I gave up fairly quickly because unless you keep meticulous records, there's no way to figure out the exact email you used very easily and I didn't get that much out of doing it.

Does one need to keep records? I just do service@domain.tld, for example: ycombinator@example.net.

I started receiving a lot of sexually-explicit spam addressed to recruiting@mydomain.tld, so now I know that one of the recruiters to which I gave this email address had their inbox/contact-list compromised.



Where I got bit was email was used as login. I was trying to log in but couldn't remember the specific email I had used even though I generally had a fairly specific schema.
