It is more than just a GMail only. Hotmail/Outlook Live support it, MS Exchange supports it, my email domain hoster ForwardEmail.net supports it, Postfix has supported it since v2.11 in 2014, and many more.
Sure, but Dan is right it's not a SMTP feature. It's just something Gmail did and was then widely copied. But it's a mail server feature, as far as the SMTP protocol is concerned the + has no special meaning, and is just a regular character in the email address.

Yes, although I did also say it was only gmail, which is apparently wrong. I'm surprised (but not displeased) the feature has been copied, given how little it is known. Since it's widely deployed (although gmail is probably big enough on it's own) I kinda suspect it's mostly useless now. If I was in the business of trading email lists, it would be pretty easy to run a regex over the list to strip off all those tags.
I really do wonder why other companies went through the effort of doing that.

You can still use it to automatically sort non-spam emails, tool.

And if you advertise your normal email as whatever+normal@example.com or some such, you could assume that incoming email without a +suffix is spam (or at least likely spam — just skim through it once a week or month).

This building on Courtland at Stirling spontaneously collapsed this afternoon.

Ouch! Hope no one was hurt. 
From the bottom photo, I'm pretty sure that the build would not have met current building code. Maybe not even older ones, that's a pretty thin concrete wall supporting the roof, with window openings in it yet ...

Wow interesting! I've always thought that would be a great place for a small infill development.

Well considering this thing collapsed, maybe you'll get your wish. :'P There's a lot of good property around here which would be viable for redevelopment. The ground is soooo contaminated though.

According to street view, the tenant of that part of the building was 'D&D Contracting'.
Guess someone failed a saving throw.

I saw that this plot of land is now fenced off at Charles and Kent. Wonder if a proposal is near?

RFC 3598, 2003
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3598
GMail wasn't launched until 2004. April 1st, for those who remember.
Using thE + like that in SMTP addressing has been around a long time, and not just some GMail enhancement.

In a perfect world, tenants on a preexisting property that was slated to be removed should be given new homes (either in the new building or elsewhere that is of equal cost and has equal features i.e. same number of bedrooms). But sadly things don't happen like that in neoliberal capitalism so they'll get kicked to the curb and told good luck and then a bunch of Chinese and Indian investors will buy up half the building and a handful of tech bros will buy the rest of the units.

New affordable housing building coming to downtown Kitchener, behind Historic St. Paul's Lutheran Church. 6 story building, with 57 units planned. I can confirm the address will be 15 Church Street.
