Security News > 2020 > October > Microsoft: Disposable emails now available in Exchange Online
Microsoft says that Office 365 customers can use unlimited disposable recipient email addresses after the Plus Addressing feature rolled out to all Exchange Online users.
Plus addressing allows users to create an indefinite number of custom and unique email addresses by adding suffix text strings to their standard address using a '+' delimiter.
Exchange Online support for plus addressing was first announced by the company during Microsoft Ignite 2019 and roll out started in September 2020.
Before being added as a default Office 365 tenant admin feature, plus addressing was one of the most voted requests for Exchange Admins according to Microsoft's UserVoice site.
Plus addressing support is disabled by default in Exchange Online organizations admins can easily toggle it on using Exchange Online PowerShell.
