If you a using Gmail as you personal email and are giving it out to sites that you don’t trust, give them +@gmail.com instead. Use any word after the plus as your unique spam filter. So for example, periferral+jobs@gmail.com could be used to filter all emails when you apply for jobs. You can create filters based on from to easily filter spam.

Neat huh?
