I honestly wonder why ISPs don't provide this service: several organizations I know give you a root e-mail (login@domain.tld) and then let you use any extended e-mail (login__whatever@domain.tld), where the separator can be '-', '+', '__', '$' or anything else (arguably, '+' and '$' are not widely supported).

Before using this service I used dodgeit in which you create mail address' on the fly; yet the inbox in publicly available so use with caution. The benefit of using Sneakmail is that you can disable the email address at any point, you can even send mail via the service and your reply to address is a Sneakmail address which is forwarded to you. Although I would not use these for important or personal information, in these cases I use what you do with a name at one of my domains.
