Sure, why not? See RFC's 821, 822, 2821, 2822, 5321, and 5322 :)
There is nothing special about '+' in an email address in SMTP or in the
email data format. It is only special to some delivery agents that may
be configured to treat it specially.
Here my mail client replaced + with a space char so ended to a invalid
addr, why would anyone like to reply to 3rd party spammers to
unsubscribe, well nice to see that my mail client does not support
this even if its a bug in rfc
These spammers have been active on Google Groups for a while -- why they
haven't been shut down is beyond me. But, does anyone know what alerts
or other info a Groups admin gets with people who unsubscribe? If
anything, they are clever in exploiting the Google service to do all
their bidding, seemingly without any notice from Google. You can't even
get to the groups page.
