Fastmail has plus addressing as well where you can both send and receive from 
a plus address (e.g jay+micronet@fastmail.com) and they also support 
subdomain addressing if you use a custom domain. With this you can send and 
receive from whateveryoulike@username.domain.tld (e.g 
micronet@jay.domain.tld).  You can then setup rules if you like to put 
messages sent to those a specific folders (or delete them, etc).

They now also offer "masked email" addresses which would forward to your real 
email address, e.g: 85TXa49od@fastmail.com -> jay@fastmail.com

Similar to what Apple how offers with their "hide my email" service.

These would need to be generated ahead of time to work, unlike plus or 
subdomain addresses which would always just work.  The neat thing is you can 
also delete these after they've been generated, so if you start receiving 
spam to that address you can simply delete the masked email address and 
problem solved.

It's worth nothing that Fastmail does not offer a free service.  It's $30 
/year /user for 2GB of email storage and an @fastmail.com address or $50 /year 
/user for 30GB of email storage and the ability to use your own domain.

For that cost you get no ads & no tracking.  Fastmail is based out of 
Australia though their servers are located in the US.
