Actually some spam filters think an email sent from gmail but with a different "send from" address is bulk/spam, or at least see it as "low priority" mail. But it works well in most cases, in my experience. @Moses, if you use a + sign, Gmail also automatically assigns whatever is after the + sign as a label, so it's good for organizing mail from lists and egroups. But some systems (such as services that you might be signing up for) don't recognize the + and might cause errors. @Jason, that’s right.

Which is much better to use for the application mentioned. If you're signing up for something on the adobe website, you can enter your email as username+adobe@gmail.com and it'll go to your username@gmail.com accoutn. Gmail also ignores “+” signs.
