Sending email from Spamgourmet addresses

Hi, it may be obvious but I wanted to check the point as I've had no replies to some emails I sent from Spamgourmet from the Advanced Mode page. I wasn't sure if they're busy, or if the emails just aren't getting through.

My question is this. When I enter the addressee's email and generate the special email address to use (+stuff+stuff@spamgourmet.com), can I keep using that special address for future emails to the addressee?

Or is it a one-off email address which won't work again, so if I want to send another email from the same disposable address to the same addressee, I still need to go through the process of entering the address etc all over again to generate a new "From" email?

Thanks.

Hi, further questions on this subject if I may, as I've found that I might want to have an ongoing exchange with a particular addressee.

I know that when you use the feature to send emails from one of your disposable Spamgourmet addresses, you get given an address to put in the To field of your email, in the format
"+fromname+myusername+uniquenumber.addressee#destinationdomain.com@spamgourmet.com"

From the above, it seems that I can reuse that address any number of times to send fresh emails to the same addressee - I don't have to generate a new special address for the "To".

My query/request is this: are Spamgourmet considering including the option to save and view these special To addresses which one has created in the past, say those associated with a particular "From" address? Or is this feature there already, but I just haven't been able to find it? (If the latter I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.)

That would save having to hunt for the "old" versions of the "To" address in my Sent mail, or having to create a new one if I can't find the old one.

Many thanks in advance.

That's correct. For a given destination, a given word and a given account, the hash value ("unique number" in your post) is always the same, and hence the sg-generated address is the same, so you can reuse it.

That's normally what the address book function in an email client is for. What's preventing you from using the address book in your email client to store the sg-generated addresses?

yeah, we implemented the hashing functionality for the redirection addresses so we wouldn't have to store them anywhere (because we didn't think we'd have the space to do it). So, we don't store them anywhere...

It's a beautiful thing . . . Hash to go with all that spam . . . and it goes right through your system . . .
