Hi there, sorry for not coming back to you. I try to help out, but I seldomly come around here.

Simple answer: yes.
That is what trusted senders are for. I believe they can send you e-mail to any spamgourmet address, bypassing most "blockades" available. That is exactly why I don't use them.
Using full addresses (e.g.
usersupport@mycomputerprovider.com) as trusted senders might be safer, but of course, less useful (or useful in less situations).
From the FAQ (
https://spamgourmet.com/index.pl?printpage=faq.html), bolding added:
Q. Can I specify a trusted sender or domain who will be allowed to send me email at my spamgourmet account?
A. Yes, in advanced mode, just list senders' email addresses or domain names in your setup and these senders will be allowed to send you email using any of your disposables without advancing the count. Of course, if you really trusted a sender, you could just provide your real email address. So here, we're talking about folks you trust to send you email, but don't trust to keep your email address to themselves. This probably includes anyone who uses an email client that is highly susceptible to virus infections, which is, unfortunately, a lot of people.
