You can also add a + tag inline such as email address+companyname@gmail.com and it will be auto labeled.

I do this when using my email to sign up for anything. I add the name of what I'm signing up for. Helps me identify what websites have sold my info, and to whom.

Some data brokers filter those out. Use an email alias forwarding service such as SimpleLogin. Bonus is you can turn off that email box if it gets sold and no longer receive email.

Proton, the now dead helm, and other email providers who aren’t google provide catch all or wildcard addresses for a low fee. It’s not easy for the non tech savvy, but if you are then it’s trivial to configure.

https://www.thehelm.com/ Helm used to be a turnkey self hosted email service. https://proton.me/mail Proton is a privacy focused (still work with LE for criminal investigations) email service.

Oohhh, I thought you were calling Proton a “dead helm”, not just naming another service. Got it.
Yeah I wish Helm survived. I was so close to pulling that trigger when it was announced.

I had the V1 from very early days. It wasn’t flawless but it was easy enough to use for my spouse, and worked with most email clients which proton does not.

Good to know, I was not aware of that. I usually use a spam email address anyway, but it's nice to have options.
