I've seen a few hundred of these emails in the past couple days coming in from multiple different companies.

I'm looking for more info.

at least one said it was zendesk, most did not say any software.

the tickets are being sent with CC addresses that contain large email lists. often others on the CC who don't know what's happening will reply "stop emailing me".

so far I've seen this coming in to multiple addresses and none of the sending companies are familiar either.

sounds familiar to anyone? any info on this? it's there a name i can lookup to find more info? i want to know what services this effects so i can properly protect my stuff and my work stuff.

Does the hyphen get accepted everywhere? I use aliases already for every sign up but a shocking number of websites reject emails with the + sign as invalid, often the ones I'm most concerned about.

It’s worked everywhere I’ve tried it. Blocking the hyphen would be a really aggressive move, because that’s valid in usernames in most email services. I honestly don’t know why places block the plus.
