@jomo #Posteo supports 2 aliases for free, I think, otherwise 20 cents or so per alias. (Depends on how much aliases you want to use.) Mailbox.org also supports them AFAIK.
That + thing you mention is [one](https://jameshfisher.com/2018/04/07/the-dots-do-matter-how-to-scam-a-gmail-user.html) of the "great" features of GMail (actually taht one may indeed not be bad), but not supported by other mail providers. There you usually have to create aliases manually.

Here I show that this is a new kind of phishing scam which is enabled by an obscure feature of Gmail called “the dots don’t matter”. I then argue that the dots do matter, and that this Gmail feature is in fact a misfeature. Finally I’ll suggest some ways the Gmail team can combat such scams in future. But first, I’ll show you the email:
