Create aliases using '+'
If you want to send an email with a specific alias on it you can write your recipient's email as: [actual_email]+[desired_alias]@[his_domain].com.
What this will do is send that email with that alias attached to it. If your recipient has a filter for that alias, it will get sorted out quicker!
A good usecase is completing newsletter forms with your_address+newsletter@gmail.com and make a filter so that every email that has the newsletter alias will automatically get labeled.
