  • I think you are misconstruing spam in this context.

    While you are right about “spam” mail not meeting valid header details or authentication, a lot of “spammy” content does - marketing emails.

    fastmails aliased emails allow for users to generate unique email addresses for each individual service they sign up for. What this enables is that when that service inevitably sells that email address to another spammy, potentially legitimate, but still spammy provider. They can then unsubscribe from that alias email entirely.

    What you are describing seems less focused on protecting one address from being sold and shared. I think you need to accommodate for the fact that businesses sell lists of email addresses against their users wishes. That use case doesn’t seem to be met yet
