Should I create dedicated email just for spam?

General Computing

I have 2 email accounts:

Proton Mail: personal email
Gmail: Professional email

I’m been getting spam in my personal email from house listing sites and loyalty programs. I want to segregate my spam from my important emails. Should I make Gmail handle my spam emails, even though it sucks for privacy? I want to use Gmail to receive spam mail but I think it might reveal too much information on me and violate my threat model. But I don’t want to open another email account in order to deal with my spam.

just search temp email and use any for free stuff. Don’t give out your email easily.

But if these emails are old they are probably burned make new ones.

I do indeed have an email dedicated to all those times where I want to try something but I’m not risking any of my personal or work related emails for this.

Fun fact, I used the username “liamemaps” for such email :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
(hint: just read it backwards to get it)

Interesting to me, you want spam?

My efforts include eliminating spam. If you want these emails is it not spam.
