Department Plus Addressing

Plus addressing can be used for receiving email if you have a department alias.  Imagine your department alias is ab123@statslab.cam.ac.uk
Then you can receive email on any address in the form of ab123+anything@statslab.cam.ac.uk. For example ab123+conference@statslab.cam.ac.uk

Some people create rules in their email settings for these to put any messages to a specifici plus address into a certain folder.

Please only use numbers, letters, and underscore (_) , hyphen  (-) and full stops (.) .

Generally speaking you cannot send email from a plus address. If you have a business case to need to contact your head of department PA who can
register addresses for sending.
