That’s a use case for aliases, catching if any company or service gives out your email to be abused by advertisers and whatnot. I tried looking for stories but didn’t find any, I wonder if you have any to share.

    Spammers really don’t care about my self-hosted mail server for whatever reason, no matter where I use it.

      Really? For me rspamd blocks at least 15 spam emails a day, usually from China or Russia. An additional 2-3 go to the junk folder, and some still slip through the cracks especially if it’s coming from a gmail address.

      But it could be as simple as it being because my email is publicly available (github, my website, etc.) so scrapers are picking it up.
