Plus-addressing

Plus-addressing lets you add a tag after a + to any alias, such as hello+mira@lunavera.com. Mailyoto delivers it through the alias hello. Every alias already has unlimited tagged versions. It works on every plan, with nothing to switch on.

How Mailyoto matches a tagged address#

When email arrives for hello+mira@lunavera.com, Mailyoto looks for an alias in this order:

1. An alias named exactly hello+mira. If you created one, Mailyoto uses it and ignores the tag.
2. The alias hello, with the tag removed.
3. A pattern alias that matches hello, with the tag removed.
4. The catch-all.

The tag never needs an alias of its own, and the alias’s settings apply to its tagged versions too. A paused hello pauses hello+mira as well.

Whether the tag reaches the inbox#

Mailyoto forwards the email without the tag. If hello forwards to amina.kone@gmail.com, email to hello+mira@lunavera.com arrives at amina.kone@gmail.com, with no tag. The original To line in the email still shows hello+mira@lunavera.com.

To keep a tag, add a rule on the Pro or Max plan. For example, To contains +mira, then Forward with amina.kone+mira@gmail.com under Destinations. Each rule keeps one tag. Use a tagged destination only for an inbox that accepts tags. Most large providers do, such as Gmail, Outlook and iCloud.

When to use it#

• Track who shares your address. Give each shop or service its own tag, such as hello+mira@. If spam arrives at that tag, you know where it came from.
• Filter in your inbox. A filter on the To line, such as hello+mira@lunavera.com, sorts that email into its own folder.

A tagged address is easy to guess from the alias. To stop email from one sender, block the sender. To stop an address entirely, create an alias with exactly that tagged name, such as hello+mira, and pause it.

Tags in the dashboard#

The Forwarding tab lists only the alias, not its tags. In Logs, the To column shows the tagged address each email was sent to.
