Some MTAs (Exim, at least) will just pass on <account>-<whatever> to <account>. I use erik-<company>@nittin.net when I subscribe to some company's website. That way I can 1) track where my spam originated and 2) redirect erik-<company>@nittin.net to sales@<company>.com so they get their own spam.

There must be something fishy going on. I don't have the time to look closer into this right now so I've gone ahead and subscribed you manually (did you get the confirmation?). Hopefully this won't happen again but if it does I'll obviously have to schedule some time to track this down.
Thanks for your patients,
Erik.

This trick works with most MTAs, but it is rarely turned on by admins.

I think we should change this.
